Novel bisthiazole ligand and its copper(II) complex with unusual seven membered ring: synthesis, characterization, experimental and theoretical study of the effect of ligand flexibility, and antimicrobial activity

In the search of antimicrobial agents a novel bisthiazole ligand containing a methylamine linker (ethyl 2-((2-methylthiazole-4-yl)methylamino)thiazole-4-carboxylate (BTa) and its copper(II) complex [CuCl2BTa]⋅2H2O were synthetized. Both compounds were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. Single crystal Xray diffraction of copper complex evidence a pentacoordinated copper(II) center of intermediate geometry
forming 5 and 7 membered chelate rings with BTa acting as a tridentate ligand leaving the amine N–H group in the thiazole linker available for participation in intermolecular interactions. Structure packing was analyzed by means of Hirshfeld surfaces, 2D fingerprint plots and lattice interaction energies were assessed. In order to deepen the understanding of the coordination to the flexible ligand DFT studies were carried out at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. Calculated FTIR frequencies were used to perform a Vibrational Energy Distribution Analysis (VEDA) where potential energy distribution of vibrational was determined. Minimum inhibitory concentrations for BTa and CuBTa on E. coli ATCC 25922, S. aureus ATCC 25923, P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and C. albicans ATCC 10231 were determined.
