Metal chelates have been preferred for therapeutic applications over inorganic salts due to their tunable coordination geometries and their efficiency to bring about desirable effect at minimum dosage levels1 . Mixed ligand complexes of curcumin with bipyridine, phenanthroline and other ancillary ligands have been proved as efficient anticancer agents2 . In the current study, the synthesis of CuII complex of mixed ligands of diethylmalonate and salicylaldehyde, possessing similar binding modes as curcumin and salicylaldehyde is described. The synthesized complex [Cu(sal)(dem)].2H2O is characterized by UV-Visible, FT-IR and mass spectral techniques to ascertain the structure of complex. These types of complexes are expected to possess potential antimicrobial and anticancer applications. |
