Conclusion
The study successfully synthesized a manganese(II) complex with ciprofloxacin and characterized its structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The manganese(II) atom is coordinated by four oxygen atoms from two ciprofloxacin ligands and two from 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate ligands.
- The complex forms a two-dimensional network linked by hydrogen bonds.
- Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds are present between the carboxyl groups of the ligands.
Takeaway
Researchers made a new compound using manganese and an antibiotic called ciprofloxacin, and they found out how its atoms are arranged.
Methodology
The compound was prepared under hydrothermal conditions and characterized using X-ray crystallography.
