CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF [N′-(2- OXIDOBENZYLIDENE)-N-(PROP-2-EN-1-YL)- CARBAMOHYDRAZONOTHIOATO(2-)](1,10- PHENANTHROLINE)COPPER AND [N′-(2- OXIDOBENZYLIDENE)-N-(PROP-2-EN-1-YL)- CARBAMOHYDRAZONOTHIOATO(2-)](2,2′- BIPYRIDINE)COPPER HEMIHYDRATES

Abstract

The crystal structures and biological properties of [N′-(2-oxidobenzylidene)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-carbamohydrazonothioato(2-)](1,10-phenanthroline)copper hemihydrate [Cu(1,10-Phen)(L)]·0.5H2O (I) and [N′-(2-oxidobenzylidene)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-carbamohydrazonothioato(2-)](2,2′-bipyridine)copper hemihydrate [Cu(2,2′-BPy)(L)]·0.5H2O (II), where Н2L is 2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide, are determined. The asymmetric unit of the unit cell in the crystal structures of I and II contains a copper complex with bidentate amine and a ligand coordinated by the azomethine nitrogen atom, the deprotonated phenolic oxygen atom, and the sulfur atom in the thiol form. The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom in compounds I and II is a distorted tetragonal pyramid. Obtained coordination compounds I and II exhibit antimicrobial and antifungal activities and have minimum inhibitory concentration and bactericidal concentration values in a range of 1.5-500 µg/mL. The study of the antioxidant activity shows that compounds I and II are less active than uncoordinated thiosemicarbazone H2L, but more active than trolox used in medical practice.
