Structure and antimicrobial activity of some new azopyrazolone chelates of Ni(II) and Cu(II) acetates, sulfates, and nitrates.
Four coordinate Ni(II) and Cu(II) chelates formed by reaction of two azopyrazolone derivatives with metal sulfate, acetate, or nitrate are described. It is concluded that the ligands possess tautomeric equilibria and can coordinate to the metal ion as neutral or monobasic bidentates. The so-obtained complexes are characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, IR and electronic spectra, as well as conductivity measurements. A pseudo-tetrahedral polymeric structure is proposed for all the complexes in which the acetate, nitrate, or sulfate is attached to the metal ion in the bridging bidentate mode. It is observed that the chelates formed are more potent as antimicrobial agents than the free ligands.
