Design, synthesis, characterization and biological studies of copper complex with biosensitive ligand
Abstract
A new biosensitive ligand (pyrazole derivative) was synthesized from acetophenone and benzaldehyde by Aldol condensation and then followed by condensation reaction with thiosemicarbazide under basic condition. The copper(II) complex was prepared and characterized by elemental, molar conductance, FTIR, 1H NMR and UV-Vis. spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of copper complex was studied and its salient features were discussed. It was concluded that the prepared copper complex may be mimic natural enzyme like SOD.
