Synthesis, Spectral study, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Copper (II) Complex of Chalcone of 5Nitrofurfural

S. N. Ipper, G. K. Kakade

Abstract :

A metal complex of Cu(II) has been synthesized with newly prepared biologically active ligand. This ligand was prepared by the Claisen–Schmidt condensation method of 2,6–dihydroxy acetophenone and 5–Nitrofurfural. The structure of the complex has been proposed by the analytical data, conductivity measurement, magnetic moment, electronic absorption spectrum, thermal studies and XRD analysis. Analytical data confirmed 1:2 stoichiometry and the magnetic moment, TG–DTA suggests that Cu(II) complex has octahedral geometry. Presence of coordinated water molecules in Cu(II) complex is confirmed by TG–DTA studies. The conductivity data show that the complex was non electrolyte. Antimicrobial activities of complex with selected bacterial strain and fungal strain carried out and the results have been compared with commercial standards. The metal complex exhibit impressible potent biocidal activity than ligand.
