Hypothesis
The study investigates the synthesis and biological activity of new macrocyclic complexes of lead(II) and palladium(II).
Conclusion
The macrocyclic complexes exhibit significant antifungal and antibacterial activities compared to the precursor compound.
Supporting Evidence
- The synthesized complexes were screened against pathogenic fungi and bacteria.
- The complexes showed higher toxicity compared to the precursor compound.
- Antifungal activity was evaluated against Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata.
- Antibacterial activities were evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Takeaway
Scientists made new compounds using lead and palladium and found that these compounds can kill some germs and fungi.
Methodology
The complexes were synthesized using a template process and characterized through various spectroscopic methods, followed by biological activity screening.
Limitations
The study does not specify the limitations of the synthesized complexes or the methods used.
