Mononuclear copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of cetirizine (CTZ = 2-[2-[4-[(4-chlorophenyl)phenyl methyl]-piperazine-1-yl]-ethoxy]acetic acid) in the presence of 2-aminomethyl-benzimidazole·2HCl (AMBI), as a representative example of heterocyclic bases, were synthesized and studied by different physical techniques. All mixed-ligand complexes have been fully characterized with the help of elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, molar conductance, magnetic moments and spectroscopic data. The formulae of the isolated complexes are [M(AMBI)(CTZ)(NO)(HO)]· nHO where AMBI is the neutral bidentate 2-aminomethylbenzimidazole, CTZ the deprotonated cetirizine and n = 1 for Co(II) or 0 for Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes. The measured molar conductance values in DMSO indicate that the complexes are non-electrolytes. The formation equilibria of the ternary complexes have been investigated. Ternary complexes are formed by a simultaneous mechanism. Stoichiometry and stability constants for the complexes formed are reported. The concentration distribution of the complexes in solution was evaluated as a function of pH. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants and are discussed. The synthesized metal chelates have been screened for their antimicrobial activities against the selected types of Gram-positive (G) and Gram-negative (G) bacteria. They were found to be more active against Gram positive than Gram negative bacteria. The antimicrobial activity in terms of metal ions obeys this order: Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Co(II).

A comprehensive review of organotin(IV) hydrolysis and complex formation equilibria with amino acids, peptides and DNA constituents is presented with special reference to solution and coordination chemistry studies. The review focuses on results obtained in the author's laboratory and related work of other groups. Also, published studies on these complexes were reviewed with emphasis on their biological aspects.

Formation equilibria of cobalt(II) complexes of 2-(aminomethyl)-benzimidazole (AMBI) and the ternary complexes Co(AMBI)L (L = aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids) were investigated in aqueous solutions at 25 °C and 0.1 mol⋅dm ionic strength. Stoichiometry and stability constants are reported for the complexes formed. The speciation of the complexes was resolved. Values of $\log_{10}\ (K_{\mathrm{Co(AMBI)L}}^{\mathrm{Co(AMBI)}})$ and Δlog K are calculated and discussed. The effect of chelate ring size of the dicarboxylic acid complexes on their stability constants was examined. The effect of temperature on the dissociation constant of AMBI, CBDCA, and the formation constant of Co(AMBI) and Co(AMBI)-CBDCA complexes was studied and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated. Formation of the metal complexes has been found to be spontaneous, exothermic and entropically favorable. The solid complexes of [Co(AMBI)L] (L = oxalic acid, 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (CBDCAH) and malonic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, spectra, magnetic and conductance measurements. Electronic spectra and μ values suggest a tetrahedral geometry for Co(II)-complexes. The isolated metal chelates have been screened for their antibacterial activities and the complexes show a significant antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas fluorescence (Gram −ve) and Bacillus subtilis (Gram +ve). The activity increases at higher concentration of the compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
