Complexes have been synthesized using 10mL methanolic solution of raw levofloxacin (C18H20FN3O4) (0.0144g, 0.2mmol), 5mL methanolic solution of copper chloride dihydrate (II) (CuCl2_2H2O) (0.068g, 0.17mmol,), and 20mL methanolic solution of 1,10-phenanthroline(C12H8N2) (132mg, 0.2mmol). The complex was characterized by the Schiff base method for detection of the modification of the structure of levofloxacin using Hydrogen-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance H-NMR, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV–visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometry, and elemental analysis of the complex using CHN analysis. The dried precipitate appears as light green crystals which are ground well by a clean spatula and weighed. Yield: 340 mg; 99%. This complex and levofloxacin have been subjected to melting point checking which was 268-270, and 221℃ respectively. Elemental analyses were achieved and were calculated for [Cu (Levo.) (Phen)Cl]. Cl, (C30H33Cl2CuFN5O4), molecular weight = 681.07 g/mol−1: C,53.29; H, 4.14; N, 10.36%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
