Abstract
Two new macrocyclic complexes have been synthesized by con-
densing dithio-dipropionic acid dihydrazone with 2,6-diacetyl pyridine/2,6-
pyridine dicarbonyl dichloride in presence of Cu(II) ions.
The complexes have the formulae Cu[DPDTDPH](BF4)2 and
Cu[DCDTDPH](BF4)2 (where [DPDTDPH] = 2,6-diacetyl pyridine
dithio dipropionic acid dihydrazone and [DCDTDPH] = 2,6-
pyridine dicarbonyl dichloride-dithio-dipropionic acid dihydrazone.
The in vitro antimicrobial studies revealed that the macrocyclic
complexes are potentially active against a few bacteria and fungi
and exhibit greater biocidal effect as compared to the ligand fragments.
The synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental
studies, conductivity measurements and spectral (IR and
electronic) studies.
