Abstract

Six new Cd(II) and Zn(II) macrocyclic Schiff base complexes from cyclocondensation of 2,6-diacetylpyridine and three different liner aromatic amines have been investigated. The resulting ligands, L-1 and L-2 are 17- and L-3 18-membered pentaaza macrocycles. The complexes have been characterized by a variety of methods such as IR, elemental analysis, EI-Mass and conductivity measurements and in the case of cadmium complex by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of CdL1(CH3OH)(ClO4)(2) has been determined. In this complex, the Cd(II) ion is coordinated to five nitrogen donor atoms of the ligand and one oxygen atom from methanol in a N5O environment. The geometry around the cadmium can be better described as in a slightly distorted pentagonal-pyramidal. The synthesized compounds have antibacterial activity against the three gram-positive bacteria: S. aureus, B. cereus and C. xerosis, and also against the three gram-negative bacteria: E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. vulgaris. The results show that the antibacterial activity of cadmium complexes is greater than that of zinc complexes.
