A master’s thesis at the University of Samarra discusses the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of the biological activity of metal complexes
The master’s thesis in the College of Education at the University of Samarra, titled “Preparation, Characterization, and Evaluation of the Biological Activity of Metal Complexes and the Study of Adsorption for Some of Its Complexes,” was presented by the student Mohammed Ibrahim Mahdi.
In his thesis, the student aimed to prepare and characterize a new Schiff base ligand derived from sulfonic acid and synthesize some metal complexes by reacting the ligand (L) with divalent metal ion salts “M2+ = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg, and Cd” in a 2:1 molar ratio (metal-to-ligand).
The results demonstrated that the ligand and the prepared complexes exhibited antimicrobial activity against both types of bacteria and fungi, with the biological activity of the complexes being higher than that of the free ligand.
