title: X-band electron paramagnetic resonance, optical spectra and some biological (SOD and antimicrobial activity) studies of the copper(II) complexes: a plausible model for superoxide dismutase.
abstract: The synthesis and characterization of homobinuclear complex by 2-ethylimidazole is reported along with two mononuclear complexes. Magnetic measurements and electron parameter resonance (e.p.r.) spectroscopy of the homobinuclear complex have shown an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. Superoxide dismutase and antimicrobial activities of these complexes have also been measured.
