Abstract
Three novel ferrocene-based organometallic complexes of zinc, containing either homoleptic or heteroleptic (mixed-ligand) structures [Zn (FcBz)2 (H2O)2] (1), [Zn (FcBz)2 Bipy] (2), [Zn (FcBz)2 Phen] (3), which FcBz = 4-ferrocenyl benzoate, Phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline, Bipy = 2, 2-bipyridyl, were chemically synthesized and well characterized by 13C NMR, 1H NMR, FT-IR, elemental analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The synthesized complexes incorporate ligands that exhibit bidentate chelation, resulting in hexacoordinate geometry. The complexes were exposed to antibacterial testing against pathogenic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Antimicrobial research revealed that heteroleptic complexes outperformed homoleptic ones. The [Zn (FcBz)₂Phen] complex exhibited the highest efficacy, making it a viable organometallic contender for antibacterial applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
