New 2-pyridinealdehyde N 4-hydroxyethyl thiosemicarbazone and their Cd(II) and Cu(II) complexes: synthesis, spectral, in vitro antibacterial activity and molecular and supramolecular structure study

Synthesis, characterization and modeling structures of isatin-3-Girard T (IGT) and P (IGP) hydrazone complexes

The reactions of isatin Girard's T hydrazone, N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2[(2z)-2-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indole-3-ylidene)hydrazino]ethan ammonium chloride (IGT) and isatin Girard's P hydrazone, 1-{2-oxo-2-[(2z)(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indole-3-ylidene)hydrazine]ethyl} pyridinium chloride (IGP), with Fe(3+), Al(3+), Sb(3+) and Sn(2+) salts afford different types of complexes. The isolated solid complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, spectral (IR, UV-Vis, (1)H NMR, mass), magnetic moment and thermal measurements. The results suggest that all the complexes are conducting in polar solvents (EtOH, H2O and DMF). The IR spectral data suggest that the ligands coordinate in a tridentate manner via the two carbonyl of both isatin and Girard's and the azomethine (C=N) groups. The amounts of solvents inside and outside the coordination sphere were determined using thermal data (TGA) and weight loss method. The octahedral geometry of the complexes is confirmed using DFT method from DMOL(3) calculations. The ligands and their metal complexes were tested against different strains of bacteria and fungi.
