Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activities of Ferrocene Ligands and Their Binuclear Complexes

Abstract

6-Chloro-2-ferrocenyl-1H-benzimidazole and (E)-((4-chloro-2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl)ferrocene ligands and their Fe(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Pd(II) complexes were synthesized. The structure of ligands and metal complexes has been investigated by different methods. In addition, magnetic moment, molar conductivity measurements and antibacterial activity of the ligands and the complexes were investigated.
