CATALYTIC REACTIVITY OF METAL COORDINATION COMPOUNDS IN BRIDGING STRUCTURAL CHEMISTRY WITH FUNCTIONAL APPLICATIONS

Abstract

A significant collection of applications derived from structural chemistry is metal coordination complexes. The basis of the varied compounds used in this work included reflux, solvothermal, and hydrothermal compounds based on the use of Schiff bases, macrocyclic ligands, and mixed-ligand frameworks. Coordination and identification (notably via ligand substitution with a careful spectroscopic study, including UV-Vis, IR, NMR, and EPR) of distinctive and electronic transitions, ligand shifts, and paramagnetic effects. the relationship between ligand design and structural stability was good by providing accurate data of unit cell characteristics, morphology, and coordination structures indicated by structural analysis by XRD, SEM, and single crystal diffraction. The Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes showed higher catalytic efficiency in the catalytic experiment that proved effective in oxidation, C–C coupling, and the polymerization process. Biological tests were used in order to determine the biological activities that the effects of these systems were a demonstration of the nature of these systems in terms of antioxidant, antibacterial, and DNA cleavage, which hypothesized the therapeutic behavior of these systems. these mechanistic insights were capable of providing an interesting pattern of comprehending the structure-function relationships in concentrating on geometry-sensitive reactivity, π-backbonding, and ligand field stabilization. The fact that coordination compounds are flexible also means that they are promising alternatives for advanced materials, such as medicinal chemistry and industrial catalysis, since they can easily be observed using both spectroscopical and structural data. This paper contributes to the rationale, which is mechanistic, on which the multifunctional and sustainable coordinating systems should be based.
