An all-rounder aminoguanidine based ligand, its unusual anionic zinc(<scp>ii</scp>) and cadmium(<scp>ii</scp>) coordination complexes and their biological implications
Ansa Santu, K.K. Mohammed Hashim, E. Manoj
Abstract
The versatility of the ligand by protonating and deprotonating in the same medium yields unparallel complexes, one of which is more potent against E. coli than the standard ciprofloxacin, and opens-up new possibilities in coordination chemistry.
