SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF MIXED-LIGAND AMINE-CONTAINING COPPER(II) COORDINATION COMPOUNDS WITH 2-(2-HYDROXYBENZYLIDENE)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)HYDRAZINECARBOTHIOAMIDE

Abstract

Сopper(II) nitrate reacts in ethanol with 2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide H2L in an 1 : 1 molar ratio to form the coordination compound Cu(HL)NO3·H2O. The introduction of amines [imidazole (Im), 3,5-dibromopyridine (3,5-Br2Py), and 4-methylpyridine (4-Pic)] into the reaction mixture in a molar ratio 1 : 1 : 2 leads to the formation of CuA(HL)NO3·nH2O [A = Im, 3,5-Br2Py, 4-Pic; n = 0, 3] complexes. The structure of the obtained compounds was determined by X-ray structural analysis. The synthesized complexes exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.
