Synthesis, Spectral, Thermal Analysis, Biological Activity and Kinetic Studies of Copper(II)-Pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate Complexes with 2-Aminomethylpyridine and 8-Hydroxyquinoline.
In this work we report the synthesis of two novel square-planar copper(II) complexes, namely, (2-aminomethylpyridinium-pyridinedicarboxylato)copper(II) dihydrate, [Cu(pydc)(2-amp)] • 2H2O (1) and (8-hydroxyquinolinum-pyridinedicarboxylato)copper(II) hydrate, [Cu(pydc)(8-HQ)] • H2O (2) (2-amp = 2-aminomethylpyridine, 8-HQ = 8-hydroxyquinoline, H2pydc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid or isocinchomeronic acid) and present the first preliminary study on kinetics and biological activities of copper complexes. The synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental, spectroscopic (FT-IR, UV and mass spectra), thermal analysis, magnetic and conductivity measurements techniques. Kinetic parameters were obtained for each stage of thermal degradation of the complexes using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Antimicrobial activities of two complexes and two ligands were evaluated using agar diffusion method. Antimicrobial activity of complex 2 was determined with the agar dilution methods. The results were compared with two well known antibiotics, namely, tetracycline and nystatin.
