“…In recent studies performed with these derivatives, the following properties have been reported: antitumor [24-29], cytotoxic [30], antibacterial [6,[31][32][33][34], antifungal [35,36], antiviral [37,38], antiparasitic [39][40][41], anti-inflammatory [42][43][44], analgesic [45][46][47], enzyme inhibition [48][49], antioxidant [50][51][52], antidiabetic [53], and anticonvulsant [54]. In coordination chemistry, acylhydrazones derived from isonicotohydrazine have been widely used as Schiff bases to synthesize stable complexes with transition metal or lanthanide ions [55][56][57]. In this paper, we report the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and crystal structure of a new complex [Co(HL)2]•Cl•3H2O derived from a Schiff base (H2L) obtained from a condensation reaction between isonicotinohydrazide and acetylpyridine in the presence of acetic acid.…”
