Copper (II) Complex Based on Salicylate and Bipyridine-Type Ligands: Synthesis, Characterizations, DFT Insights, and Molecular Docking Simulation
摘要
A new copper(II) salicylate complex [Cu(sal)(bpy)]4.5H2O with bulky substitution (sal = doubly deprotonated salicylic acid, bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine) has been synthesized. The structure of the copper complex was analyzed by FT-IR, TGA, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) studies. SC-XRD showed that the structure contained a mononuclear and a binuclear molecule together with water molecules. The coordination geometry around copper in the case of mononuclear and binuclear molecules is approximately square planar and square pyramidal, respectively. Supramolecular assembly was stabilized by O-H···O and C-H···O bonding along with
