Electrochemical, catalytic and antimicrobial activity of N-functionalized tetraazamacrocyclic binuclear nickel(II) complexes

A high efficacy antimicrobial acrylate based hydrogels with incorporated copper for wound healing application

“…The hydrogel samples (diameter 5 cm) were cut and placed into 250 mL flask, with adding 50 mL of phosphate buffer (pH 7.40). The flask is gently swirled without causing a vortex and the integrity of the hydrogels was visually established [30].…”

Synthesis and characterization of chromium(III) Schiff base complexes: Antimicrobial activity and its electrocatalytic sensing ability of catechol

“…The lower antimicrobial activity of chromium complexes may be ascribed to the lower electronegativity and small radius of the central metal ion [Cr(III)]. It shows that the higher electronegativity and large atomic radius will increase the activity, due to decrease in the effective positive charge on the metal complex [37]. …”

Synthesis, structural characterization and biological properties of Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Zn(II) and VO(II) complexes of tetradentate Schiff bases

“…The Schiff base metal complexes have wide range of applications such as, material chemistry, analytical chemistry, catalysis, corrosion and drug delivery [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Due to presence of hard nitrogen, oxygen and soft sulphur atoms, the Schiff base ligands are easily coordinate with various transition metals.…”
