Complexes of three molecularly designed phenylacetohydrazide Schiff base derivatives—N′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐phenylacetohydrazid (HL1), N‐(1‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)‐2‐phenylacetohydrazide (HL2), and N′‐((1‐hydroxynaphthalen‐2‐yl)methylene)‐2‐phenylacetohydrazide (HL3)—with some bivalent metal ions were synthesized and investigated by several spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The crystal structure of HL1 ligand has been solved by conventional X‐ray diffraction technique. Molecular geometries of HL1 and the studied complexes were investigated using the DFT‐B3LYP/GENECP level of theory. Quantum and non‐quantum global reactivity descriptors as well as the nonlinear optical properties were calculated. Biological parameters such as antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, fluorescence quenching studies, and viscosity measurements of the complexes were carried out. Molecular docking studies of HL1 and complexes using Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software are reported. The different biological studies and the molecular docking were correlated to each other. The biological studies supported that the complexes can bind to DNA via intercalative mode and showed a various DNA binding potency.

A new hydrazone ligand 4,6‐bis(2‐hydroxynaphthalen‐1‐yl)methyl‐ene)hydrazono)ethyl)benzene‐1,3‐diol (H4L; DHNAPH) was synthesized by the reaction of 4,6‐bis(1‐hydrazonoethyl)benzene‐1,3‐diol (NH2DAR) with 2‐hydroxy 1‐naphthaldehyde. Co (II), Ni (II), and Cu (II) complexes ([M2L(H2O)6].nH2O.mEtOH (M = Co, Ni or Cu; n = 0.5 or 1; and m = 0.5 or 0) of DHNAPH have been successfully synthesized. Characterization of DHNAPH and its complexes was performed by analytical, spectral (infrared [IR], mass, UV–Vis, 1H NMR, and electron spin resonance [ESR]), powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The analytical data, magnetic moments, and spectral studies recognized octahedral geometries for DHNAPH complexes. DHNAPH acts as a bis (dibasic tridentate) via (C=N azomethine and 2 OH) with metal in complexes. The XRD patterns for DHNAPH and its complexes indicate crystalline nature of DHNAPH and its Cu complex. DHNAPH has triclinic system, while copper‐DHNAPH has a tetragonal system with different unit cell parameters. Theoretical studies showed that there is a good relation between experimental IR data and theoretical calculation. The activity of DHNAPH and its complexes against Hepatocellular carcinoma, fungi, and bacteria has been tested. The new complexes are more active than DHNAPH, and the highest antitumor activity was given by copper (II) complex, which showed lower IC50 than that of Cisplatin. The DNA binding of DHNAPH and Cu‐DHNAPH has been investigated. Molecular docking studies showed that all the tested compounds show good binding scores revealing good fitting in between the DNA strands. There is an agreement between docking data and DNA binding results.

A novel Schiff base ligand (HL), derived from the condensation of phenylethanolamine and quinoline‐2‐carboxaldehyde, and its coordination complexes with some transition metal ions, Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Pd(II), were synthesized. The reported new compounds were characterized using different analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The structure of HL and its cobalt complex was also solved by conventional X‐ray diffraction technique. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the ligand and cobalt complexes was investigated. Interesting structural features with unique hydrogen bonding formation were observed. Molecular geometries of HL and the reported complexes were investigated using the DFT‐B3LYP level of theory. The quantum global reactivity descriptors were also calculated. Biological screening and molecular docking studies of the ligand and complexes are reported to explore their potential application as therapeutic drugs. The biological studies and molecular docking were correlated to each other and with the quantum reactivity descriptors. The studies supported that the complexes could bind to DNA via intercalative mode and showed various DNA binding potency.
