Polymer complexes. LXXI. Spectroscopic studies, thermal properties, DNA binding and antimicrobial activity of polymer complexes
olymer complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Cr(III) and Cd(II) were prepared by the reaction of 3‐allyl‐5‐[(4‐nitrophenylazo)]‐2‐thioxothiazolidine‐4‐one (HL) with metal ions. The structure of polymer complexes was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis spectra, X‐ray diffraction analysis, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements and thermal analysis. Reaction of HL with Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Cr(III) and Cd(II) ions (acetate or chloride) give polymer complexes (1–5) with general stoichiometric [M(L)(O2CCH3)(H2O)2]n (where L = anionic of HL and M = Co(II) (1) or Ni(II) (2)), [Mn(HL)2(OCOCH3)2]n (3), [Cr(L)2(Cl)(H2O)]n (4) and [Cd(HL)(O2CCH3)2]n(5). The value of HOMO–LUMO energy gap (ΔE) for forms (A‐C) of monomer (HL) is 2.529, 2.296 and 2.235 eV, respectively. According to ΔE value, compound has minimum ΔE is the more stable
