Abstract
Two Schiff base ligands, namely H2L1 [3-(2‑hydroxy-phenylimino)-1,3-dihydro-indole-2-one] and H2L2 [3-(2-mercapto-phenylimino)-1,3-dihydro-indole-2–1], were successfully synthesized. Furthermore, the ligands were subsequently complexed with [CoCl2(PPh3)3] to form CoL1 and CoL2, respectively. The synthesized metal complexes were investigated using FTIR, UV–Visible, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Catalytic efficiency was evaluated for the oxidation of alcohol and C6H5-H5C6Coupling reactions. DFT study verified the structural parameters of the prepared Co2+ complexes were made reliable. The interaction of Co2+ Schiff base complexes with BSA and DNA were studied using an in-silico docking approach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
