Spectroscopic studies, structural characterization and electrochemical studies of two cobalt (III) complexes with tridentate hydrazone Schiff base ligands: Evaluation of antibacterial activities, DNA‐binding, BSA interaction and molecular docking

Co(III) complexes of tridentate Schiff base ligands derived from N ‐(2‐hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzamide (H 2 L 1 ) and 2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazine‐1‐carboxamide ( H 2 L 2 ) were synthesized and characterized using IR, Raman, 1 H–NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopies. X‐ray single crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 have also been determined, and it was indicated that these Co(III) complexes are in a distorted octahedral geometry. The cyclic...
