Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial evaluation and DFT calculations of Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of tridentate ONO donor ligand
A series of Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the type [Fe(L)(H2O)2Cl].2H2O, [Ni(L)(H2O)].2H2O and [Cu(L)(H2O)3].2H2O, where L bi-negatively tridentate Schiff base ligand derived from condensation between anthranilic acid and 2-hydroxy-benzaldhyde, have been synthesized. The proposed structures of the obtained complexes have been established from elemental analyses, UV-Vis., FT-IR, magnetic moment and conductivity measurements. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were established ... Read more
