Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Studies of Terpene Derived Ligand and Its Metal(II) Complexes
Terpene-derived ligand from (2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine and camphor and its Cu(II) and Fe(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by melting point and decomposition temperature, elemental analysis, molar conductivity, infrared (IR) spectral analysis, solubility test and magnetic susceptibility. The structures of Cu(II) and Fe(II) with terpenoid ligand have been composed from reacting between copper bromide and iron bromide with hydrazone in 1:2 molar ratio. The ligand and its metal complexes have been detached in a solid state. The spectroscopic data of the structures proposes their 1:2 structures which are characterized by CHN, FT-IR and From spectroscopic reviews we proposed the octahedral structure for the all structures and the outcomes are spoken to and talked about underneath. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the ligand and metal(II) complexes were evaluated by applying disc diffusion method. The antibacterial assay was carried out on four pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Proteus aureginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and three fungi, Candida albicans, Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ligand and its metal(II) compounds showed some antibacterial and antifungal activities but having lower activity when compared to the control drugs.
