Conventional and green synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial potency of complex of Ru (III) with 2(E)[(2,4-dichlorophenyl) imino] methyl} -6- methoxy phenol [DCPIMMP]

Abstract

Both conventional and microwave approaches are used to synthesize the Schiff base ligand and its complex 
with Ruthenium (III). Elemental analyses, IR and ESR spectroscopy, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility, 
and molar conductance were used to characterize the ligand and Ru (III) complex. The Ru (III) complex is non
hygroscopic, solid, and colored. Phenolic anionic (O) functions as a bidentate ligand as a result of the ligand's 
coordination to the metal ion via azomethine (C=N). By taking into account electronic spectral analysis and 
magnetic susceptibility values, octahedral geometry has been proposed. Based on its molar conductivity 
statistics, it is non-electrolytic in nature. Both the ligand and metal complexes have been examined to 
understand their microbiological activity.
