We depict the synthesis and characterization of copper(II) and zinc(II) coordination compounds of 4-(3',4'-climethoxybenzalclehydene)2-3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-semicarbazone (la), 4(3',4'-dimethoxybenzaldehydene)2-3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-thiosemicarbazone (1b), 4-(3'-hydroxy-4'-nitrobenzaldehydene)2-3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-semicarbazone (1c) and 4-(3'-hydroxy-4'-nitrobenzal dehydene)2-3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-thiosemicarbazone (1d). All the remote compounds have the general composition [ML2] (M = Cu(II)and Zn(II)); L = Schiff base (la-id). All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, H-1 NMR, UV-vis, ESI-Mass, magnetic susceptibility measurements, cyclic voltammetric measurements, and EPR spectral studies. It has been originated that the Schiff bases with CLOD and Zn(II) ions form mononuclear complexes on 1:2 (metal:ligand) stoichiometry. Distorted octahedral environment is suggested for the metal complexes. The conductivity data confirm the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The interaction of CuL21a-1d complexes with CT DNA was investigated by spectroscopic, electrochemical and viscosity measurements. Results suggest that the copper complexes bind to DNA via an intercalative mode. Moreover, the complexes have been found to promote the photocleavage of plasmid DNA pBR322 under irradiation at 365 nm. The Schiff bases and their metal complexes were screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities against different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria and their biopotency has been discussed.
