New Cu(II), Mn(II) and Mn(III) Schiff base complexes cause noncovalent interactions: X-ray crystallography survey, Hirshfeld surface analysis and molecular simulation investigation against SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: In this study, polynuclear Cu(II) complex (1), Mn(II) and Mn(III) complex (2) have been prepared with a Schiff base ligand derived from 2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde with 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The molecular and crystal structures of (1-2) were determined by the single-crystal x-ray diffraction technique. It turned out that Cu(II) complex (1) forms an S₄ -symmetrical tetrameric cage structure, with square-planar coordinated Cu and bridging O atoms at the vertexes of the approximate cube. In the crystal structure of 1, there are large channels along the c-axis, between the tetramers; the solvent- DMSO molecules, occupies these channels. In turn
