Novel Mixed-Ligand Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) Complexes of Azo-Schiff Bases with 1,10-Phenanthroline and Metformin: Synthesis, Characterization, Molecular Docking, and Antibacterial Evaluation
In this study, two azo-Schiff base ligands were synthesized via condensation of vanillin and 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde with 4-aminoazobenzene. Mixed-ligand complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) were synthesized using 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) and metformin (Met), affording twelve complexes with a metal-to-ligand...
