Abstract
Two new melamine (MA) charge transfer complexes with quinol and picric acid in aqua media have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The obtained complexes with the general formula [(MA)(acceptor)(2)] with a 2:1 acceptor:donor molar ratio. Elemental analysis (CHN), electronic spectra, photometric titration, mid infrared spectra, H-1 NMR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) were used to predict the position of the charge transfer interaction between the donating and accepting sites. The MA CT-complexes were antimicrobial assessment against two kinds of bacterial and fungal species. (C) 2014 King Saud University. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
