Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) ciprofloxacin complexes

Ciprofloxacin metal co mplexes with general for mula [M(CPF)(2)]X-2 center dot nH(2)O [M = Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II)] have been synthesised and characterized using elemental analysis (CHN), spectroscopic (UV-Vis, IR, MS, and H-1 NMR) and ther mogravimetric (TG and DTA) data. Using the Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzeger methods, kinetic analysis of the thermogravimetric data had been performed.
