Synthesis, spectroscopic study, antioxidant, DNA-cleavage and enzyme-mimicking activities for metal(II/III) complexes with azo ligand–eugenol scaffold

Abstract A newly synthesized azo ligand, 1-((5-allyl-2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)diazenyl)anthracene-9,10-dione (H-MND), derived from an anthraquinone nucleus coupled with the natural phenol (eugenol), was employed to prepare Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Rh(III) and Pd(II) complexes, with the ligand proposed to adopt a triden...
