(E,E)-N,N′-Bis(4-tolylmethylidene)ethylenediamine

“…The continuing interest in the Schiff bases of ethylenediamine derivatives is driven by the development of supramolecular assemblies (Thalladi et al, 1995), complexations with metals, and their biological activities (Patel et al, 2005). The title compound, (I), is similar to (E,E)-N,N 0 -bis(1-phenylethylidene)ethylenediamine, (II) (Benson et al, 2006), except that the methyl group is attached at the 4-position of the benzene ring instead of the azomethine group.…”

Noncyclic Diaza Ligands and Their Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Studies

“…Antimicrobial studies: Macrocyclic complexes involving Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(III) derived from similar initial components have been documented in previous studies [1,[3][4][5][6]. These complexes have shown significant antimicrobial activity against various types of bacteria, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains and certain harmful fungi.…”

“…Antimicrobial efficacy: The antibacterial effectiveness of both the noncyclic ligands and the complexes of L II was evaluated against four selected Gram-positive and six Gramnegative bacteria, utilizing the established methodology outlined in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Additionally, the antifungal properties of all the compounds were assessed, employing the approach previously described elsewhere [4].…”

“…Previous studies showed that Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Co(III) complexes derived from macrocyclic ligands with analogous starting materials possess potent antimicrobial properties [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Therefore, the antimicrobial effectiveness of the noncyclic ligands and the newly synthesized Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Co(III) complexes of L II have been investigated.…”
