Abstract
1HNMR spectrum of the free ligand. [Display omitted]
► A new series of complexes was prepared using different metal ions with a new derivative of thiouracil. ► The complexes were investigated using all valuable spectral and chemical tools. ► ESR spectrum of Cu(II) complex displays axially symmetric g tensor parameters indicating the square–planar geometry. ► The biological effect of all investigated compounds was studied on different microorganisms.
A synthesis of new thiouracil derivative was carried out and deliberately investigated. A new series of complexes was prepared using Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Cu(II) and UO2+2 ions. IR spectral data proposed the coordination mod of the ligand towards each metal ion and displays the binegative pentadentate mod as the maximum mod of coordination obtained with Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. 1HNMR spectrum of UO2+2 complex in comparing with the free ligand spectrum supports the binegative appearance of the coordinated ligand through the ionization of CO and CS groups. The electronic spectral data as well as the magnetic moment measurements are coincide with each others to propose the square–planar geometry with Ni(II), Pd(II) and Cu(II) complexes and octahedral geometry with the others. ESR spectrum of Cu(II) complex displays axially symmetric g tensor parameters with g11>g⊥>2.0023 indicating that the dx2-y2 orbital as a ground state with the square–planar geometry. The TG analysis for all isolated complexes were carried out to assert about the presence of water molecules physically or chemically attached with the central atom. The biological study was carried out against different microorganisms as gram negative, gram positive and fungi. The comparable data display the relative priority of Ni(II) complex in comparing with others against all organisms but, the other complexes display activity by the same with the free ligand.
