Synthesis and Characterization of Copper (II) Soap Complexes Derived from Natural Edible Oils with Substituted Benzothiazoles
Thermal degradation has attracted the attention of scientific community throughout the world due to its multiple applications in environment, energy, waste water treatment, pollution control, and green chemistry etc. The present work deals with the study of synthesis and characterization of thermal and biological properties of novel copper complex. Chemical structures of copper (II) sesame 2-amino-6-ethoxy benzothiazole complex were confirmed by IR, NMR, and ESR techniques. Thermal and biological properties were analysed by thermogravimetry (TGA) and antimicrobial activity determination against Staphylococcus aureus. The TGA study reveals that copper (II) sesame 2-amino-6-ethoxy benzothiazole complex undergo stepwise thermal degradation of ligand-soap bond of complex and unsaturated and saturated fatty acid components of edible oils. The complex exhibit significant antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus. This study provides relevant basic information on the thermal and antimicrobial properties of new copper (II) bio-based surfactants, as well as an explicit relationship structure-biological activity for their potential use as safe and green chemicals
