SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF CR(III) AND CU(II) COMPLEXES OF 4-(PHENYLAMINO)BENZOIC ACID

Monika Chaudhary, Mradula Mittal

ABSTRACT
Cr(III) and Cu(II) complexes (1–6) of general composition M(HL)X2 and M(HL)2 (M=Cr(III), Cu(II), X=Cl-1, NO3-1) with ligand 4-(phenylamino) benzoic acid (HL1) were synthesized. The characterization of newly synthesized ligand and complexes was done by 1H NMR, UV–VIS, IR, Mass spectrophotometry and molar conductivity studies. On the basis of the spectral study, octahedral geometry was assigned to Cr(III) metal complexes. Cu(II) complexes in metal:ligand (1:1)  show square planar geometry and distorted octahedral geometry in metal:ligand (1:2) complexes. Antifungal activity of the metal complexes were also investigated.
