A new MoO2(VI) complex of formulation [MoO2(L)](acac)2 prepared by a Schiff base, synthesized via reaction of di-2-furanylethanedione with 5-chloropyridine-2,3-diamine and four new MoO2(VI) complexes having formule [MoO2(ML)](acac)2, derived from cyclization of [MoO2(L)](acac)2 with β-diketones are reported in this work. The synthesized MoO2(VI) complexes were characterized on the basis of various analyses like thermal studies, UV-Vis, elemental analyses, NMR, IR and molar conductance. The coordination number of molybdenum metal is six. All the MoO2(VI) complexes have distorted octahedral structure in which Mo atom is coordinated with two O-atoms and four N-atoms. All the complexes show moderate activity against S. typhi and S. aureus. Advancement in the antibacterial task is thought to be of chelation speculation.
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.
