Copper(II) complexes with substituted imidazole and chlorido ligands: X-ray, UV–Vis, magnetic and EPR studies and chemotherapeutic potential

Synthesis, Characterisation and Antimicrobial Activity of Dimeric and Monomeric Copper(II)-Schiff base Complexes

“…. The  value of complex-4 is within this range in both solvents, which reinforces a structural arrangement of a dimeric square planar geometry in solution [16,17,[22][23][24].…”

“…The MIC of these octahedral copper(II) compounds was in the range of 25 to 100 g mL -1 against S. aureus and E. coli [12]. Monomeric and dimeric square pyramidal in addition to square planar copper(II) derivatives of substituted imidazole showed IC 50 in the region of 43 M on U937 Leukemia cell line but these compounds did not show any chemotherapeutic potential on other Leukemia and Melanoma cell lines [22]. Square pyramidal copper(II) derivatives of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff base also showed antimicrobial activity against S. The electronic properties of the copper(II)-Schiff base compounds in this work may also give an insight into the bioassay results.…”

Metal-mediated diradical tuning for DNA replication arrest via template strand scission

“…, indicative of a six-coordinate, distorted octahedral structure for both complexes (45,47,48) (Fig. 2, Inset).…”

Histaminol and Its Complexes with Copper(II) – Studies in Solid State and Solution

“…Equatorial bond lengths in complexes 2 and 3 and also four almost coplanar bonds in 1 , take values in the range 1.942(3) to 2.016(2) Å. Such bond lengths are typical of equatorial Cu–N and Cu–O interactions in six‐coordinate copper(II) complexes with imidazole derivatives, including histamine and histidine ligands . However, degree of tetragonal distortion in such compounds is diverse and depends on composition of coordination centers .…”
