Abstract
In Iraq, like most developing countries, attempts are being made to synthesize new compounds with several pharmacological properties. (E)-2-(3-(2-imino-1-methylimidazolidin-4-ylidene)-1-methylguanidino)acetic acid (L) has been synthesized and used as a ligand for the formation of Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes. The chemical structures of synthesized compounds were characterized using different spectroscopic methods. All chelates except Ni(II) chelate are found to be octahedral structures, Ni(II) chelate was square planar. The stability for the prepared complexes was studied theoretically using density function theory. The total energy for the complexes was calculated and it was shown that the copper complex is the most stable one. Ligand and complexes were tested against selected types of microbial organisms and showed significant activities. The free-radical scavenging activity of ligand and metal complexes have been determined by their interaction with the stable free-radical DPPH and all the compounds have shown encouraging antioxidant activities.
