Synthesis, Characterization, and Antifungal Studies of Cr(III) Complex of Norfloxacin and Bipiridyl Ligand

[摘要] A novel slightly distorted octahedral complex of Cr(III) of norfloxacin (Nor) with the formula [CrIII(Nor)(Bipy)Cl2]Cl·2CH3OH has been synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of aN-containing heterocyclic compound 2,2′-bipyridyl (Bipy). The complex was characterized with FT-IR, elemental analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Spectral studies suggest that the Nor acts as a deprotonated bidentate ligand. Thermal studies were also carried out. The synthesised complex was screened against four fungiPythium aphanidermatum(PA),Sclerotinia rolfsii(SR),Rhizoctonia solani(RS), andRhizoctonia bataticola(RB).
