Ce and Fe complexes as potent antifungal agents for wallpapers

The current research focused on the Schiff base ligand (S,E)-2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxy- benzylidene)amino)-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propanoic acid which synthesis by reacting L-histidine and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde. Its complexes with Ce(III) and Fe(III) both in bulk and nano size were also synthe...

Description
Summary:The current research focused on the Schiff base ligand (S,E)-2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxy- benzylidene)amino)-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propanoic acid which synthesis by reacting L-histidine and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde. Its complexes with Ce(III) and Fe(III) both in bulk and nano size were also synthesized. The ligand and its metal complexes were characterized by various physicochemical methods such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, electronic spectra, XRD,   TGA, and SEM. The synthesized ligand and its metal complexes were screened against different fungi. It was found from the results that the cerium nano complex shows a potent antifungal activity for indoor uses as wallpapers.
