Synthesis, structural and antibacterial study of new silver complex with 3-acetyl-2H chromene-2-one

Abstract

A new silver complex [Ag(C₁₁H₈O₃)₂]NO₃ was synthesized by the reaction of silver nitrateand coumarin based ligand (3-acetyl-2H-chromene-2-one) through solution method. The product was characterized using different analytical techniques like melting point, Infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. An antibacterial study of the complex was also studied for its possible use in medical treatment.
