Abstract:
A novel Co(III) complex, [Co(L)(Imi)3]Cl incorporating 2-((3-methoxy-2-oxidobenzylidene)amino)-4-methylphenolate (L2-), as a dibasic deprotonated Schiff base ligand and imidazole (Imi) was synthesized and fully characterized using physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques including elemental analysis, conductance measurement, FT-IR, UV-Vis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. As the conductivity data showed, the synthesized complex had a 1:1 ionic nature. The structure of the complex was found to be distorted octahedral in which, O/N donor atoms of the Schiff base ligand and N atoms of three imidazole groups were involved. Antimicrobial activity of the Co(III) complex as well as the its parent Schiff base ligand against two Gram-positive bacteria (S. Aureus and M. luteus), two Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and P. aeruginosa) and a fungus (C. Albicans) was studied. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of [Co(L)(Imi)3]Cl was investigated using molecular docking of the complex with GlcN-6-P synthase.

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
