Abstract

Complexes of Cu(II), Fe(II) and Fe(III) have been synthesized with 2-nitro-3,3′-benzylidene bis[4-hydroxycoumarin]/4-chloro-3,3′-benzylidene bis[4-hydroxycoumarin]/4-hydroxy-3,3′-benzylidene bis[4-hydroxycoumarin]. They have been characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR spectra, electronic spectra, magnetic measurements, elemental analyses and screened for their in-vitro biocidal activity against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhi, and Serratia marcescens bacterial strains and for their in-vitro antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Lasiodiplodia theobromae. The metal complexes exhibit good activity against bacterial strains compared to parent compounds, but no significant antifungal activity against fungal strains. In-vitro nuclease activity has been carried out using agarose gel electrophoresis. The synthesized compounds show effective nuclease activity.
