Synthesis and characterisation of novel oxovanadium(IV) Schiff base complexes: A study of their electronic spectral properties, peroxide binding affinities, DFT-calculated geometries and spectra, and cytotoxicity towards human carcinoma cells.

A series of five, tetradentate Schiff-base ligands were synthesised and chelated to vanadyl to form oxovanadium(IV) complexes. The ligands, 4,4’-{benzene-1,2-diylbis[nitrilo(1E)phen-1-yl-1ylidene]}- dibenzene-1,3-diol (H2L1), 4,4’-{ethane-1,2-diylbis[nitrilo(1E)phenyl-1-yl-1-ylidene]}dibenzene-1,3-d...
