Antimicrobial activities of self-assembled copper( ii ), nickel( ii ), and cobalt( iii ) complexes combined with crystallographic, spectroscopic, DFT calculations and Hirshfeld surfaces analyses

Three 2-D and 3-D Cu( ii ), Ni( ii ), and Co( iii ) complexes were obtained by reaction of HL1 with different metal salts. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods, as well as Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies.
