Streptomycin has been used to derive organic metal complexes (OMCs) after metallation with ZnCl 2 , CdCl 2 and PbCl 2 and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and vibrational spectroscopy, 1 H and 13 C NMR, mass spectroscopy (time-of-flight MS), magnetic measurement, thermal decomposition analysis (TGA, DTA), molecular modeling and X-ray powder diffraction. OMCs are monomeric. Crystal system, lattice parameters, unit cell, particle size and volume of crystalline OMCs have been determined using X-ray powder diffraction pattern analysis. The geometries of complexes were optimized on the basis of molecular modeling. Kinetic parameters were computed from thermal analysis, confirming first-order kinetics. Molecular models have been optimized by MM2 calculations. Architecture and tailoring of the rationally designed and synthesized supramolecular models having covalent bonded oxygen or other molecular contacts extended through Huckel Charge Distribution in highest occupied molecular orbit (HOMO). Antimicrobial effectiveness of OMCs has been reported.
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.
