Abstract

Several mercury (II) complexes were prepared with the ligand (L), (E)-3-hydroxy-N'-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-2-naphthohydrazide, and mixed ligands like (dppm) bis(diphenylphosphino) methane, and (dppp) bis(diphenylphosphino)propane. They were characterized using elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FTIR, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, EDS, Mass, and TGA. The analyses indicate that Hg(II) complexes are square planar, with the ligand (L) coordinating through oxygen and nitrogen. The proposed formulas are [Hg2(L2)2(µ-dppm)2]Cl4 and [Hg(L2)(dppp)]Cl2. These ligands coordinate differently: (dppm) as a bridge in binuclear complexes and (dppp) as bidentate in dinuclear complexes. XRD analysis revealed complexes with crystallinity ranging from 23.49% to 28.06% and sizes varying from 8.27280648 to 183.4763452 nm. The compounds showed good activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, except for the ligand.
