Synthesis, Spectral, Magnetic and Antibacterial Properties of Copper(II) Complexes of Quaternary and Tertiary N-Donor Ligands

Abstract

New complexes of Cu(II) with propantheline bromide [PP Bromide] with quaternary nitrogen and amitriptyline hydrochloride [AMTHCl] with tertiary nitrogen were prepared and their structures were elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, electronic spectra, ESR spectra and conductivity measurements. The spectral data suggest the monodentate nature in the complexes, a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry is proposed for the complexes. The results of the antibacterial activity studies show that the complexes strongly inhibit Eschearichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella.
