Thus, 2-hydroxy-5,3-(phenylallylidene)aminobenzoic acid (L1), was prepared by thermal condensation of cinnamaldehyde with 5-aminosalicylic acid in methanol. A series of cobalt(II) complexes with newly synthesized Schiff base ligand and para substituted phenylphenol (L2) corresponding to complex 1, [Co^II(L1)₂(H₂O)₄], and mixed-ligand complexes, 2 and 3, [Co^II(L2)_1/2(L1)(H₂O)_4/3], have been prepared and analysed by FTIR, ¹H NMR, HRMS, PXRD, electrochemical and fluorescence spectral techniques. DFT calculations were utilized to verify the molecular structure, analysis of Frontier Molecular orbitals (FMOs), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and reactivity descriptor for complexes 1–3. In vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the biological properties of the complexes. These findings revealed that the synthesized metal complexes have heightened biological efficacy as related to the unbound ligand. Complex 2 has been observed to show effective antibacterial MIC value against <i>P. aeruginosa</i> (3.81 μg/mL) which is superior to the efficacy of standard drug chloramphenicol used (7.81 μg/mL) while the antifungal activity of complexes was found to be moderate to that of standard nystatin. Complex 2 has also demonstrated strong antioxidant activity (67.7%), which was on par with ascorbic acid used as a reference. Furthermore, in silico antibacterial activities (molecular docking) of the complexes have indicated these to exhibit excellent efficacy with docking score of − 11.1, − 9.8 and − 9.4 KCalmol⁻¹ against target proteins <i>E. coli</i> (PDB ID: 4OPQ), <i>P. aeruginosa,</i> (PDB ID: 6NE0) and <i>S. aureus,</i> (PDB ID: 3Q89), respectively. The photocatalytic behaviour of the Co(II) based complexes has been studied by Buchwald-Hartwig C–N (BHC) and Suzuki Miyura C–C (SMC) cross coupling reactions. Lastly, a correlation between in vitro efficacies with molecular docking data and photocatalytic activity with DFT data was done and analysed.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract.</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":639,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this gradual adjustment approach, the pre-synthesized Fe₃O₄ NPs were covered by the <i>gum acacia</i> (GA) having hydroxyl groups on its lynchpin applicable in cresting, decreasing and stabilizing factor for the kept up Au nanoparticles. The crested Au ions were lowered and kept over the <i>acacia gum</i> due to hydrogen binding of the hydroxyl groups. The concluding bio-material characteristics were drawn through numerous analytical methods including EDX, XRD, ICP-OES, TEM, FE-SEM and FT-IR. The anti-rheumatoid arthritic efficacy was assessed in live subjects using Complete Freund Adjuvant (CFA), formaldehyde, and turpentine oil models at doses of 80 and 160 µg/kg.
