The reaction of [MoCl(NO)Tp * = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylborate] with copper Schiff base complex... more The reaction of [MoCl(NO)Tp * = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylborate] with copper Schiff base complexes derived by condensation of one mole each of 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde with α,ω diamines [NH2(CH2) n NH2, n = 2–4] yields heterobinuclear complexes with two potential redox centres. I.r., electronic and e.s.r. spectroscopic properties of these complexes are described. Cyclic voltammetric data of the base complexes in DMSO reveal that the copper redox centres undergo irreversible one electron reduction at potentials which vary slightly with the polymethylene carbon chain backbone of the Schiff base ligands. Incorporation of [MoCl(NO)Tp *]+ groups in the copper Schiff base complexes, results to a slight anodic shift (100 mV) in the reduction potential of the copper centre which remains invariant as the polymethylene carbon chain lengthens. Electrochemical data of the heterobinuclear complexes using CH2Cl2 and DMSO as solvents indicate the solvent dependence of the red...

Characterization of the complexes was done using 1 H NMR, elemental analyses, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Electrochemical properties of the complexes were determined by cyclic voltammetry. Antimicrobial activities of the complexes and respective ligands were tested against drug resistant Gram-negative Escherichia coli ATCC 11775 and drug susceptible Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12600. Some of the synthesized mononuclear ruthenium complexes demonstrated good potential antimicrobial activities against the selected bacteria tested with some showing better activity than well-known antibiotics such as streptomycin (S-10).

Characterization by UV, IR, MS and elemental analysis support their formulations. Cyclic and differential pulse voltammograms of manganese(II) Schiff base monometallic complexes exhibit one reduction peak which may be associated with the reduction of the manganese(II) center. In CH 3CN solutions, the molybdenum(II)-manganese(II) bimetallic complexes showed two reversible reduction peaks which are associated with the reduction of the molybdenum and manganese centers. In CH 2Cl 2, only the reduction of molybdenum(II) center exhibited reversibility while the reduction of manganese(II) center was irreversible. These observations demonstrate that reduction potentials for bimetallic complexes are solvent dependent. * Cl 2 (T p * = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) borate) complexes
