RETRACTED: 2-methoxy-4-(((5-nitropyridin-2-yl)imino)methyl)phenol Schiff base ligand and its Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes: synthesis, characterization and biological investigations
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Post-publication record
OpenAlex flags this work as retracted, but it carries no matching Retraction Watch record in this frame.
Abstract
In this current work we have prepared a Schiff base ligand, (HL) derived from 5- nitropyridine-2-amine with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and its Cu(II), and Zn(II) in 2:1 stoichiometric ratio (2HL:M). The formation of the ligand and the metal complexes were evaluated by means of MS, FT-IR, UV-Visible, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and thermogravimetric methods. The free radical scavenging activity of compounds was evaluated through a sequence of in vitro assays viz., DPPH, ABTS and Superoxide where BHA was used as a positive controller. In vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activities showed that complexes had considerable inhibitory potential when compared to the ligand.
