Abstract
A novel complex was synthesized from Cu(II), nicotinamide and itaconic acid and is formulated as
[Cu(C5H4O4)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)2$2(H2O)] (1). The compound was characterized by elemental analysis,
FTIR spectroscopy, UV-Vis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic P-1
space group, with a = 7.5111(2) Å, b = 9.8529(3) Å, c = 10.5118(4) Å, a = 116.244(3), b = 90.291(3)o,
g = 103.335(3)o, V = 673.81(4) Å3, Z = 1.The octahedral geometry around the copper(II) ion is of the form
CuN2O4 consisting of two molecules of nicotinamide acting as monodentate ligand through the nitrogen atoms, two molecules itaconate ligand and two coordinated water molecules each coordinating through the oxygen atoms. The structure of 1 showed infinite chains build up linking the molecules together via strong O-H....O and N - H....O intermolecular hydrogen bonds generating a two dimensional network sheet along c axis. The antimicrobial study of the synthesized complex 1 was investigated and showed higher antibacterial activity against all the organisms comparing with Copper(II) nicotinamide 2 and Copper(II) itaconate 3.
