    Abstract:

    Synthesis and identification of symmetric bis((E)-2-nitrophenylallylidene)-2 and 2-dimethyl-1,3-diaminepropane with the general formula MLX2 It was carried out where M represents zinc (II), cadmium (II) and mercury (II) metals and X includes chloride, bromide, iodide, thiocyanate and azide ions. Various methods were used to identify and determine the structure of the synthesized complexes, such as: elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, TG, CV, conductivity and melting point. Spectral and analytical data confirmed the ratio of 1:1 metal to ligand in these complexes. These complexes had a quasi-tetrahedral geometric arrangement with the C1 point group. Ligand structure and zinc complexes were optimized by computational methods. The obtained results confirmed the quasi-tetrahedral arrangement in all complexes. Some important features such as bond length, bond angle, dihedral angle, H?, G?, total energy, etc. were extracted for optimal structures. The electrochemical behavior of the ligand and the complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and their oxidation and reduction potentials were extracted. In addition, the thermal analysis of ligand and zinc complexes was investigated in the range of room temperature up to 600 degrees Celsius. The TG/DTA plots show 5 thermal decomposition steps for the ligand and 2 to 3 thermal decomposition steps for the zinc complexes. According to TG/DTA graphs, some thermal-kinetic information such as activation energy, entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy were obtained in each decomposition step through computational methods. rtl;"> (ATCC 25922), Salmonella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) and 2 Gram positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Corynebacterium renale were investigated. Antifungal properties of these compounds were also investigated on 3 species of fungi including Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum and Candida albicans.

    Introduction and preliminary principles

     

     

    1-1- Coordination chemistry[1]

    A complex is a combination consisting of a central metal atom and two or more atoms, molecules or ions, which are called ligands. Ligands have non-metal atoms that, like a Lewis base, provide a pair of electrons to the central metal, which is usually an intermediate metal and acts as a Lewis acid. Therefore, the bond in the complexes is dative or coordination [2]. For this reason, they are also called coordination compounds [1].

    1-2- History

    The chemistry of transition metals has a wide relationship with the chemistry of coordination compounds. These compounds, which are also called complexes, play a very important role in our modern life. Studying and examining them has a prominent role to understand the concepts of chemical bonding and to find out about the rules and laws governing mineral chemistry and to learn it. In addition to its practical and economic importance, these compounds are also very important from the point of view of theoretical studies. For many years, complexes were only of interest to theoretical and mineral chemists, but today the important use of these compounds has been identified, especially in the field of understanding biological processes [2]. Determining the exact date of the discovery of the first metal complex compound is a difficult task. Perhaps the first complex compound recorded in history is a complex called Prussian blue [3], this compound was prepared by Diesbach [4] at the beginning of the 19th century [3].. In addition to the role they play in the dynamics of biological processes and stabilizing the formations of large biomolecules, metal ions are also important in the form of crystalline minerals or amorphous materials as constituents in many living organisms [4]. rtl;">

    1-3- Coordination numbers[5]

    In a complex, the number of ligands that are around the central atom is called the coordination number. Coordination numbers vary between 1 and 12.

    1-3-1- Coordination number 4

    This coordination number has an important place in coordination chemistry. Possible structural forms are tetrahedral (D2d), tetrahedral or tetrahedral (Td), square planar (D4h). Among these structures, two tetrahedral and square planar forms are more common [5]. In the case of coordination compounds, there is usually a mixture of both. The larger the ligands, the more possible the formation of tetrahedral complexes, because in a square planar arrangement the bond angle will be equal to 90 degrees, but in a tetrahedral arrangement it will be equal to 109.5 degrees. Therefore, the effect of spatial hindrance is reduced and the system becomes stable. Tetrahedral complexes do not have geometric isomers, for them the field is weak and they are paramagnetic [3]. It is of dsp2 type, in which the d orbital participating in the hybridization is the y2-dx2 axial orbitals and actually extends along the square diameters, and the two p orbitals participating in this hybridization are px and py. The smaller the ligands and the higher their nucleophilicity and the larger the central atom and the effective charge of the nucleus, the possibility of pairing electrons in orbitals or raising them to a higher level. These orbitals (except for the d7 and d9 complexes) are low spin [6]. That is, the number of unpaired electrons is reduced as much as possible and they often become diamagnetic species.

    base ligand (L), N,N- bis ((E)-2-nitrophenyl allylidene)-2, 2 dimethyl propane-1, 3 diamine, and its complexes with general formula MLX2 (M= Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)) and X= Cl?, Br?, I?, SCN?, N3?) were described. The authenticity of the ligand and its complexes has been established by microanalyses, FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra and by molar conductivity measurements, melting point, cyclic voltammetry, thermal gravimetry. The analytical and spectra data confirmed that the metal to ligand ratio in these complexes is 1:1. These complexes have been suggested to be pseudo-tetrahedral geometry with C1 point group. The structure of the ligand and complexes were optimized by theoretical methods. The results confirmed the pseudo-tetrahedral geometry for all complexes. Some important properties such as bond lengths, bond angle, dihedral angles, ?H, ?G, total energy and etc., were extracted for optimized structures. The electrochemical behavior of the ligand and complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry technique. The reduction and oxidation potentials of them were derived.

    Antibacterial activity of novel Schiff base ligand and all complexes were investigated against three Gram-negative bacteria; Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Salmonella Spp.
