Synthesis, crystal structure, and characterization of two metal-quinolone compounds

J Inorg Biochem. 1997 May 1;66(2):77-82. doi: 10.1016/s0162-0134(96)00157-2.

Abstract

Two novel metal-quinolone compounds have been synthesized and characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, and X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structure of both, (erxH2) [FeCl4]Cl and (kinoH2)[CuCl4]. H2O, is presented and discussed (erxH2 = doubly protonated form of enrofloxacin, kinoH2 = doubly protonated form of the second quinolone). In both compounds, the hydrogen atom is bonded between the 4-keto oxygen O(1) and carboxylic oxygen O(11), thus preventing the bonding of the metal to this part of the molecule. Antimicrobial activities of metal-quinolone compounds were tested against different microorganisms.
