Integrated experimental and theoretical investigation of Cu(II), Mn(II), and Sr(II) chelates of an indole-based hydrazide derivative: synthesis, structural characterization, molecular docking, DFT studies, and biological evaluation.
Schiff base ligands and their coordination complexes are of significant interest due to their structural versatility and therapeutic potential. In this study, a novel Schiff base ligand, (Z)-N'-((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazide (HL), was synthesized with a 93% yield via the condensation of 4-pyridinecarbox...
