This article describes the synthesis, characterization, computational and biological assessments of some divalent and trivalent metal (Ca(II), Fe(III), Pd(II) and Au(III)) complexes of nalidixic acid (nixH). The structures of these complexes were assigned using elemental analyses and spectral measurements e.g., IR, Raman, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and electronic techniques. These results indicated that, nalidixic acid reacts as a bidentate ligand bound to the metal ion through the oxygen atoms of carbonyl and carboxylate groups. The molar conductance measurements of the complexes in DMSO correspond to be non-electrolyte nature. Thus, these complexes may be formulated as [Ca(nix)(Cl)(H2O)(3)]. H2O, [Fe(nix)(Cl)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 3H(2)O, [Pd(nix)(Cl)(H2O)] and [Au(nix)(Cl)(2)]. Base on the Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzeger methods, the kinetic thermodynamic parameters (E*, Delta S*, Delta H* and Delta G*) of the thermal decomposition reactions have been calculated from thermogravimetric curves of TG and DTG. The nano-scale range of the nalidixic acid complexes have been discussed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyzer. The computational studies for the synthesized complexes have been estimated. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
