Creating Molecules that Matter

Abstract

Metal complexes have brought great attention to the chemistry field due to their ability to form several polymers and complexes depending on the ligand which it reacts. Low coordination number in Copper complexes leads to its tetrahedral shape which can be replaced by other ligands to form new molecule complexes that can be used for potential antimicrobial and antiviral purposes. This research is focused on the new synthesis of copper acetonitrile and quinoxaline via mechanical grinding and any results would show a procedure that is greener and environment friendly as well as economically efficient. Characterization of compound included TGA, luminances, microscopic examination, solubility, and elemental analysis.
