title: Synthesis, Structure Evaluation, Spectroscopic and Antibacterial Investigation of Metal Complexes with 2-(Pyridin-4-yl)quinoline-4-carboxylic Acid.
abstract: Four metal complexes based on quinoline carboxylate ligand from 2-(pyridin-4-yl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acid (HL), [ML2(H2O)2] · 2H2On (M = MnII, 1; M = CoII, 2; M = CdII, 3) and [Ag2L2(H2O)2] · 3H2On (4) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Their structures were determined by elemental analyses, IR spectra, and further characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes 1-3 feature a 1D chain structure which is further linked together to construct the 3D supramolecular network through hydrogen bonds. Complex 4 exhibits a 3D configuration. The fluorescent behavior and antibacterial activities of these compounds have been investigated.
