Four new mixed-ligand copper(ii) complexes display an antibacterial mechanism of cell death via cell-wall rupture and cytotoxicity via apoptotic cell death.
Four novel mixed-ligand copper(ii) Schiff base complexes were synthesized and characterized. The biological features of the complexes and how acetic auxiliary ligands manipulate these features were investigated.
The influences of the auxiliary part of ligands and halo ligands have been explored towards phosphatase like activity using a series of manganese(iii)-Schiff base complexes as catalysts.
