Synthesis, molecular structure and biological activity of Niii complexes based on substituted 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole

Abstract

New Niii complexes based on the substituted 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole ha ve been synthesized from the corresponding ligands and nickel acetate. The crystal structure of bis[2-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl-kN)-4,5-dichloro-3-(methoxycarbonyl)phenolate-kO]nickel(ii) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The new Ni ii complexes have been screened for their antibacterial, protistocidal and fungistatic activities.
