Iridium–Quinoline Coordination Complex in Catalysis

The combination of certain rare metal ions with the biologically important ligand Quinoline derivative to form coordination compound represents a significant area of current research. In this study, the relatively less explored Quinoline derivative ligand was reacted with solutions of selected rare metal perchlorate to synthesize solid Quinoline derivative complex. These complex was characterized by various analytical techniques, including UV-Visible spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of these complex was investigated in both homogeneous and heterogeneous phases. The antimicrobial properties of the synthesized complex were also evaluated using standard methods, and efforts were made to correlate their structural features with the observed physicochemical and biological properties.
