Biological activity of two new imidazole-based Cu(II) frameworks resulting from a one-pot reaction

Abstract

Two new penta-coordinated copper(II) complexes with mixed-ligands, namely: imidazole and citric acid have been synthesized and obtained from a one-pot reaction. The biological screening of the resulting compounds has shown that they could be considered as promising materials with interesting antimicrobial and antifungal inhibition activities. Moreover, the obtained biological results have been confirmed by undertaking chemical reactivity calculations.
