Abstract
Abstract2-Formylpyridine 4-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-(HL1), 4-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-(HL2), 4-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-(HL3), and 4-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)thiosemicarbazones (HL4) react with copper chloride and nitrate to form coordination compounds CuL1–4X·nH2O [X = Cl−, NO3−; n = 1, 2]. All compounds have a polynuclear structure. Azomethines HL1–4 act as the bridging monodeprotonated tridentate N,N,S-ligands. The thermolysis of the complexes includes the dehydration (70–90°C) and total thermal decomposition (350–520°C). The complexes synthesized exhibit a selective antimicrobial activity against a series of standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in the concentration range of 0.009–37.5 μg ml−1.
