Solvothermal synthesis of tetranuclear Zinc(II) schiff base complexes: halogen-driven structural modulation and selective antifungal and antibacterial properties against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

Two novel tetranuclear Schiff base zinc(II) complexes, [Zn4(L1)4(bpp)2](DMF)2(H2O) (1) and [Zn4(L2)4(bpp)2](DMF)2 (2) were successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions (bpp = 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane, L1\L2 = 5‑chloro\bromo‑salicylaldehyde methylthiosemicarbazone). The complexes were synthesized and later characterized&#...
