Fabrication, spectral characterisation and exploration of DNA/RNA binding affinity and biological potential of transition metal complexes incorporating isoniazid and aromatic nitrogen-donor ligands.

Four mixed-ligand transition metal(II) complexes, [ML(L1)Cl2] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn; L = Schiff base derived from isoniazid and 3-nitrobenzaldehyde; L1 = 1,10-phenanthroline), were synthesised and characterised using elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H NMR, EPR (for Cu), and molar conductance measurements.
