Structural divergence in binuclear Cu(<scp>ii</scp>) pyridoxal Schiff base complexes probed by co-ligands: catecholase mimetic activity and sulphide ion sensing
Moumita Chakraborty, Antu Mondal, Shyamal Kumar Chattopadhyay
Abstract
Three Cu(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes showing efficient catecholase activity, with pronounced solvent sensitivity, S<sup>2−</sup>sensing ability in micromolar concentrations, and coligand dependent denticity of the pyridoxal Schiff base ligand are reported.
