Synthesis, Characterisation and Antimicrobial Studies of some 2,6‐bis(1,2,3‐Triazol‐4‐yl)Pyridine Ruthenium(II) “Click” Complexes

A family of homo‐ and hetero‐leptic ruthenium(II) bis ‐tridentate complexes generated from 2,6‐ bis (1‐ R ‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)pyridine “click” ligands ( R‐tripy ) with either aliphatic or aromatic substituents were synthesized (35–97%). The family of compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity in vitro against both Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus , ATCC 25923) and Escherichia coli ( E. coli , ATCC 25922) bacteria. The antibacterial...
