water, ethanol, diethyl ether and dried in a desiccator. The resultant complexes were brown
coloured for the Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes, orange brown for the Pd(II) complex and
reddish orange for the Ni(II) complex.
Catalytic oxidation experiments with N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide (NMO)
To a solution of the required alcohol (0.060–0.12 mL, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (20
mL), NMO (0.35 g, 3.0 mmol) and the required metal-complex (0.01 mmol) were added and
the solution was heated under reflux for 2 h. The mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was
dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. It was then evaporated to dryness and extracted with diethyl
ether. The diethyl ether extract was filtered and evaporated to give the corresponding
aldehyde.14,15 The products were identified using gas chromatography by comparing their
retention time with those of authentic samples.
Biological tests
The synthesized complexes of BrSAMT were screened for their in vitro antibacterial
activity against pathogenic strains of gram-negative bacteria, i.e., Escherichia Coli, Pseudo-
monas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and Shigella flexneri using the plate technique. The bac-
teria were cultured in previously sterilized Mueller Hinton agar medium in a petri dish. So-
lutions of the ligand and its complexes in DMF were plated onto the cultured agar medium
and incubated for a period of 24 h at 37 °C. Solutions of the ligand and its complexes in DMF
were plated on cultured agar medium and incubated for a period of 24 h at 37 °C. The com-
ponents to be tested were dissolved in DMF to a final concentration of 0.5 and 1% and soaked
in filter paper discs of 5 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness. Nicotinic acid was used as
reference material. After the incubation period the plates were observed for zones of inhibition
(in cm).
