38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]

at 1407 cmminus1 due to CndashN vibration of the oxinate group[14] In the metal complexes this band occurs at sim1324 cmminus1The shift of this band to lower frequency regions showsconsiderably lower double bond character of the CndashN bonddue to involvement of the ring nitrogen on complexation[15 16] In the ligand (L1015840H

38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]

attributed to ](ndashN=Nndash) vibration There is no shift of thisband in the metal complexes indicating noncoordinationof the azo group to the metal ions The band observedat 1148 cmminus1 (LH

the bathochromic shift of sim15 cmminus1 in the metal complexesindicates bonding of oxine oxygen to the metal ions [13] Inthe spectrum of the ligand (LH

at 1407 cmminus1 due to CndashN vibration of the oxinate group[14] In the metal complexes this band occurs at sim1324 cmminus1The shift of this band to lower frequency regions showsconsiderably lower double bond character of the CndashN bonddue to involvement of the ring nitrogen on complexation[15 16] In the ligand (L1015840H

can be assigned to ](C=O) vibration and shifting of thisband by 20ndash25 cmminus1 to lower frequency region in the metalchelates indicates the coordination of the amidic oxygenatoms to the metal ions The band shown at 1263 cmminus1 in theligand (L1015840H

38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]

tons two methylene (gtCH) protons two amino (gtNH)protons and two enolic (gtCndashOH) protons respectively [25](Figures 5(a) and 5(b))

34 ESR Studies The ESR spectra of the CuII Complexes[Cu2LCl2(H2O)6] and [Cu

2L1015840Cl2(H2O)6] have been recorded

at X-band at RT The ldquogavrdquo values of the complexes arefound to be 209623 and 208807 respectively by applyingKneubuhlrsquos method [26] This type of spectrum may be dueto dynamic or pseudorotational type of Jahn-Teller distortion(Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) The spin-orbit coupling constant (120582)can be calculated from the equation

gav = 2(1 minus 2120582

10Dq) (1)

The 120582 value of the former complex is found to beminus320445 cmminus1 and that of latter complex is minus293823 cmminus1The decrease of the 120582 values of the complexes from the freeion value (minus830 cmminus1) indicates the overlapping of metal-ligand orbitals in the metal complexes

35 Powder XRD Studies The XRD study (powder pattern)of the complexes [Co

119899 =119889119873119881

119872 (2)

where 119889 = density of the compound119873 = Avogadrorsquos number119881 = volume of the unit cell and 119872 = molecular weightof the complex The value of ldquo119899rdquo is found to be 2 in bothcases which agrees well with the suggested structure of thecomplexes The crystal system of both the complexes wasfound to be monoclinic The Debye-Scherrer equation in X-ray diffraction and crystallography is a formula which relatesthe size of the crystallites in a solid to the broadening of a peakin a diffraction pattern The Debye-Scherrer equation is

119861 =119896120582

119904 sdot cos 120579 (3)

where 119904 = crystallite size 120582 = wavelength of X-ray radiation(CuK120572 = 0154060 nm) 119896 = constant taken as 094 120579 =diffraction angle (2308)∘ and119861= full width at halfmaximumheight (FWHM) (252 nm)The crystallite size of the complex[CO2LCl2(H2O)6] is found to be 499 nm For the other

38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]

38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]

38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]

38 Antibacterial Activity The ligands and metal complexeshave been screened for antibacterial activities and results havebeen shown in (Table 6) The antibacterial activity of thecompounds is examined against two strains of bacteria onegram positive Staphylococcus aureus and one gram negativeE coli The effectiveness of the compounds is classified intothree categories Sensitive intermediate and resistant If acompound is sensitive to a bacteria then it can be applied tocure the disease caused by the bacteria while it fails to do soif it is resistant to the bacteria Accordingly the effectivenessof the compound can be predicted by knowing the zoneof inhibition value in mm The results (Figure 9) show thatthe ligand was found to posses more antibacterial activitythan the complexes against different bacteria The increasein biological activity of the metal complexes than the ligandsmay be due to complexation and it can be explained on thebasis of chelation theory [38]
