Nickel(II) complexes of N′-(2-thienylcarbonyl)thiocarbamates O-alkyl-esters: Structural and spectroscopic characterization and evaluation of their microbiological activities

Synthesis, characterization, cis-ligand substitution and catalytic alkane hydroxylation by mononuclear nickel(II) complexes stabilized with tetradentate tripodal ligands

“…A wide range of nickel complexes are known to exhibit an antioxidant and antimicrobial activity against the several microorganisms [25,26]. The nickel complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2 0 -bipyridine (bpy) derivatives have shown the binding and cleavage of DNA residues [27][28][29][30][31]. Thus tuning the properties of metal complexes using an appropriate nonheme ligand architecture has become an art for the inorganic chemist from the days of Alfred Werner.…”
