Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Cu(II) and Fe(III) Complexes Incorporating Azo-Azomethine Ligand.

ABSTRACT: We are reporting a novel azo-azomethine ligand, HL and its complexes with Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions. The ligand and its complexes are characterized by various physico-chemical techniques using C,H,N analyses, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ESI-MS and UV-Vis studies. TGA analyses reveal complexes are sufficiently stable and undergo two-step degradation processes. The redox behavior of the complexes was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, the ligand and its complexes were tested for antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal strains by determining inhibition zone, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). The complexes showed moderate antimicrobial activity when tested against Gram +ve and Gram -ve bacterial strains. To obtain insights into the str
