Synthesis of Metal-Saccharin Complexes as an Antimicrobial Inorganic Pigment for Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: There is significant concern within the scientific community regarding the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by viruses and bacteria as well as the increasing resistance of these microorganisms to conventional medicines. Numerous studies have addressed this challenge to explore the antimicrobial potential of various compounds and improve existing drugs, aiming to counteract microbial mutations and prevent large-scale outbreaks. This study synthesized and characterized three metal-saccharin complexes (Fe, Co, and Ni) and investigated their application as antimicrobial activity pigments. The complexes were studied using molar conductivity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR ¹H), UV-vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetr
