Synthesis, spectroscopic and thermogravimetric interpretations of UO2(II), ZrO(II), Zr(IV), VO(II) and V(V) ciprofloxacin antibiotic drug complexes

Abstract

New five ciprofloxacin (CIP) complexes of dioxouranium(II), oxozirconium(II), zirconium(IV), oxovanadium(II) and vanadium(IV) in the proportion 1:2 have been prepared using CIP as a drug chelate with UO2(NO3)2. 6H2O, ZrOCl2. 8H2O, ZrCl4, VOSO4. xH2O and V2O5 respectively. The CIP complexes have been characterized based on the elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic, (FTIR & 1HNMR) spectral and thermal studies. The molar conductance studies of the synthesized complexes in DMSO solvent with concentration of 10–3 M indicate their non-electrolytic properties. At room temperature, the magnetic moment measurements revealed a diamagnetic behavior for all CIP prepared complexes. The different formulas of the new complexes can be represented as [UO2(CIP)2(NO3)2] (I), [VO(CIP)2(SO4)(H2O)] (II), [V2(O)(O2)2(CIP)2] (III), [Zr(O)(CIP)2(Cl)2] (IV), and [Zr(CIP)2(Cl)4] (V). The thermal analysis data of the complexes indicates the absence of coordinated water molecules except for vanadyl(II) complex (II). The CIP chelate is a uni-dentate ligand coordinated to the mentioned metal ion through terminal piperazinyl nitrogen. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation confirms the nano-structured form of the complexes.
