Synergistic enhancement of antimicrobial, anticancer, and catalytic activities in novel Cu(II) and ZrO(II) heteroleptic complexes featuring a benzohydrazide schiff base and 1,10-phenanthroline.
The construction and comprehensive characterization of heteroleptic metal chelates derived from N-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide and 1,10-phenanthroline with Cu(II) and ZrO(II) ions, respectively, were characterized by alternative techniques, in addition to density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
