Novel Copper(Ii) And Silver(I) Complexes Incorporating Benzimidazole And Related Nitrogen Donor Ligands: Synthesis, Biomimetic, Anticancer And Antifungal Activities, Mark O'Connor
Doctoral
This project describes the synthesis and biomimetic/biological properties of sixty nine copper (II) and silver (I) complexes. The complexes were derived from reactions of four copper (II) carboxylate compounds along with copper(II) and silver(I) salts with various nitrogen donor ligands. Approximately sixty of the complexes are novel. X-ray crystal structures for five of the novel copper (II) complexes are reported. [Cu9salH)2 (1) [Cu2(asp)4(H2O)2].H2O (2) [Cu(dipsH)2(H2O) (3) and {Cu(msal)(H2))}n (4) were generated when copper (II) hydroxide was reacted with the relevant carboxylic acid. Complexes (1) – (4) reacted with simple benzimidazoles to yield twelve complexes with three of them being structurally …
