New five ciprofloxacin (CIP) complexes of dioxouranium(II), oxozirconium(II), zirconium(IV), oxovanadium(II) and vanadium(IV) in the proportion 1:2 have been prepared using CIP as a drug chelate with UO2(NO3)2. 6H2O, ZrOCl2. 8H2O, ZrCl4, VOSO4. xH2O and V2O5 respectively. The CIP complexes have been characterized based on the elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic, (FTIR & 1HNMR) spectral and thermal studies. The molar conductance studies of the synthesized complexes in DMSO solvent with concentration of 10–3 M indicate their non-electrolytic properties. At room temperature, the magnetic moment measurements revealed a diamagnetic behavior for all CIP prepared complexes. The different formulas of the new complexes can be represented as [UO2(CIP)2(NO3)2] (I), [VO(CIP)2(SO4)(H2O)] (II), [V2(O)(O2)2(CIP)2] (III), [Zr(O)(CIP)2(Cl)2] (IV), and [Zr(CIP)2(Cl)4] (V). The thermal analysis data of the complexes indicates the absence of coordinated water molecules except for vanadyl(II) complex (II). The CIP chelate is a uni-dentate ligand coordinated to the mentioned metal ion through terminal piperazinyl nitrogen. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation confirms the nano-structured form of the complexes.
