Synthesis, characterization and in vitro antimicrobial activity of a new fluorescent tris-benzo[de]anthracen-7-one and its Cu(II) complex

Abstract A new green fluorescent tripod has been synthesised by reaction of 2-chloro-N-(7-oxo-7H-benzo[de]anthracene-3-yl)-acetamide and benzene-1,3,5,-tricarboxylic acid (BT). A Cu(II) complex of the tripod has been also synthesized [Cu(BT)SO4]. The basic photophysical characteristics have been investigated in organic solvents of different polarity. It has been found that the new compound is solvatochromic in nature. Antibacterial and antifungal activity of the new [Cu(BT)SO4] has been investigated. It has been found that the complex has good antibacterial and antifungal potential suggesting opportunities for its application in biomedicine for designing new effective antimicrobial preparations such as effective antibacterial wound dressings for treatment modalities of chronic wounds.
