Thermal and Spectral Studies of Transition Metal Complexes of 2-Bromo-3-Hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-Dione: Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity Against Six Bacterial Strains

Abstract

Synthesis, thermal, spectral, electrochemical, and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes of 2-bromo-3hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione(abbreviated as L) are discussed. The complexes viz, [Zn(L)2(H2O)2]; ZnL, [Cu(L)2(H2O)2]; CuL, [Ni(L)2(H2O)2]; NiL, [Co(L)2(H2O)2]; CoL, are resulted from the reactions of L with respective metal chlorides in methanol. The carbonyl frequency (1633 cm -1 ) of the ligand remains the same in ZnL, whereas it is observed at a higher wavenumber (17 cm -1 ) in CuL and lower wavenumber (3 cm -1 ) in NiL and CoL. The thermal decomposition of the complexes was studied by thermogravimetry. Powder X-ray diffraction studies further analyzed the respective metal oxide formed in TG studies. Redox potentials of all complexes are determined by cyclic voltammetry studies. It is difficult to reduce or oxidize the ligand after complexation. The frozen solution (DMSO) spectrum (133 K) of CuL shows four 63 Cu hyperfine lines in the g║region with A║ = ~155 G in CuL. The ligand, as well as all-metal complexes, showed considerable antibacterial activity against six strains viz.

Nanotubular-aerogel/hydrogel hybrid for strain sensing applications

“…[75][76][77] When compared to recently reported antibacterial hydrogel systems, those incorporating metal, plant extracted phytomolecules and ciprofloxacin demonstrate unique antibacterial properties, employing different antibacterial mechanisms from CFGs. [78][79][80][81][82] The antibacterial properties for metal-incorporated hydrogel systems was that metal ions can be released from the metal nanoparticles and contributed to the antibacterial function, while phytomolecules and ciprofloxacin exert antibacterial effects via protein denaturation and the enzyme topoisomerase IV inhibition, respectively. 78,83,84 Cytocompatibility was indispensable for skin-mounted sensors.…”

Morphological Changes, Antibacterial Activity, and Cytotoxicity Characterization of Hydrothermally Synthesized Metal Ions-Incorporated Nanoapatites for Biomedical Application

“…25923) and Escherichia coli (ATCC No. 10798) were cultured in Luria–Bertani broth [ 67 , 68 , 69 ]. The bacterial suspension was diluted to achieve an optical density at 595 nm (OD 595 ) of 0.2 (equivalent to ~1.0 × 10 7 cells/mL on average) and this value was confirmed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader (EZ Read-400, Biochrom, Holliston, MA, USA).…”

Boron nitride whiskers and nano alumina synergistically enhancing the vertical thermal conductivity of epoxy-cellulose aerogel nanocomposites

“…These llers mainly include metal and metal oxide particles (such as Ag, Zn, Cu and their corresponding oxides, etc.) [5,10,11], carbon-based materials (carbon black, graphite and carbon nanotubes, etc.) [12,13] and ceramic materials (aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and boron nitride, etc.)…”
