Sa. Ibrahim et al., DIVALENT TRANSITION-METAL COMPLEXES OF POTENTIALLY POLYNUCLEATING 8-HYDROXYQUINOLINE-5-SULFONYL HYDRAZONE, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(8), 1994, pp. 1800-1808
The Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 8-hydroxyquinolin
e-5-sulfonylhydrazone are described. It has been found that the ligand
can coordinate to metal ion as a monobasic bidentate chelating agent
and it can form di- and trinuclear complexes while acting as a dibasic
tetradentate one. The structure of the isolated complexes have been s
uggested on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, H-1 NMR spectroscopy
and conductivity measurements. The complexes are all formulated as fou
r-coordinate. Some complexes showed enhanced antimicrobial activity re
lative to the free ligand.
