The new carboxamide ligand N-(4-(N-acetylsulfamoyl)phenyl)-2-benzoyl-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanamide (HL) and its Zn(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), and Pd(II) complexes were synthesized and also characterized by using various analytical and spectroscopic techniques. While Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes exhibited square planar geometry, the others displayed octahedral geometry. Newly synthesized compounds were performed for antioxidant, DNA cleavage and antimicrobial activities. Tested compounds exhibited great potential antioxidant activity, especially Zn and Pd complexes. DNA cleavage results indicated that DNA could cleave with compounds through interaction. These compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activity against seven microorganism species and showed moderate antimicrobial activity.
