A new aroylhydrazone compound
N'-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-3-trifluoromethylbenzohydrazide (H
2L) is synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR,
1H and
13C NMR spectra. Reaction of H
2L as ligand with nickel(II) acetate and iron(III) chloride, respectively in methanol affords complexes [Ni
2L
2(CH
3OH)
4] (
1) and [FeCl
2(HL)(CH
3OH)] (
2). Both complexes are characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra. Structures of H
2L·CH
3OH and the complexes are further confirmed by single crystal X-ray determination. The Ni
II and Fe
III
atoms in both complexes are in octahedral coordination. The dianionic enolate form of the aroylhydrazone ligand in the nickel(II) complex coordinates to Ni
II atoms through phenolate oxygen, imino nitrogen and enolate oxygen. The monoanionic keto form of the aroylhydrazone ligand in the iron(III) complex coordinates to Fe
III atom through phenolate oxygen, imino nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen. Crystals of the compounds are stabilized by hydrogen bonds. Biological assay indicates that the compounds have effective antibacterial activity.
