Synthesis, physicochemical characterizations and in vitro biological evaluations of amide based Zn(II) carboxylates

Carboxylate ligands are widely used in chemistry and pharmacy owing to their ability to form stable complexes with a large variety of metal ions. In that context, carboxylate complexes allow modulation of the pharmaceutical products. Herein, a series of six novel Zn(II) carboxylates: [Zn(L1)2] (1), [Zn(L1)2 (bipy)] (2), [Zn(L1)2 (phen)] (3), [Zn(L2)2] (4), [Zn(L2)2 (bipy)] (5) and [Zn(L2)2 (phen)] (6) (where L1 =...
