Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activities of Copper Metal Complexes of Some Novel Acylhydrazoneoxime Ligands

The current study is focused on the synthesis of copper metal complexes of different derivatives of acylhydrazoneoximes (4-R-INAP-TPHD). The copper metal complexes were synthesized by reacting copper chloride with various 4-substituted isonitrosoacetophenoneterephthalohydrazide ligands (4-R-INAP-TPHD) viz. 4-H-INAP-TPHD, 4-CH3-INAP-TPHD,4-OCH3-INAP-TPHD and 4-Cl-INAP-TPHD. The resulting complexes were characterized by using various techniques such as elemental analysis, electrical conductance, magnetic susceptibility, UV-Visible, FTIR and TG-DTA. Antibacterial activities of these metal complexes were also studied against selected bacteria strain.
