22 Synthesis of the Organosilicon(IV) Complexes The com-plexes were prepared under anhydrous conditions by theslow addition of a dry hot methanol solution of theethoxytrimethylsilane (047 g 3385mmole) in a 1 1 molarratio to a solution of the Schiff bases (0691ndash1127 g3385mmole) in dry methanol (60mL) The mixture wasrefluxed with constant stirring giving a clear solution inhalf an hour refluxing was then continued for 10ndash12 hr

Excess solvent was removed under reduced pressure and thecompound was finally dried in vacuum at a bath temperatureof 40 plusmn 5∘C on rotary evaporator after being repeatedlywashed with a mixture of methanol and n-hexane (1 1 vv)The crystalline solids were separated out and purified byrecrystallization from the same solvent The purity of thecompounds was checked by TLC using silica gel-G asadsorbent Their physical properties and analytical data arerecorded in Table 1

All the newly synthesized organosilicon(IV) complexeswere coloured solids soluble in DMSO DMF and methanolThe compounds were dissolved in DMF and molar conduc-tance 10minus3M of solution at 45∘C was measured The molarconductance valves of the complexes fall in the range 08ndash16 ohmminus1 cm2molminus1 indicating that these compounds arenonelectrolytic nature The analytical data were in the goodagreement with the proposed stoichiometry of the complexes(Table 1)

31 Electronic Spectra The electronic spectra of the Schiffbase and its 1 1 organosilicon(IV) complexes have beenrecorded in methanol (Figure 1) Complexes exhibit twobands in the regions 205ndash220 and 250ndash260 nm which maybe due to the 120587ndash120587lowast transition of benzenoid120587ndash120587lowast transitionof COO chromophore respectivelyThe spectra of the ligandshow a weak broad absorption band at sim340 nm whichcan be assigned to the 119899-120587lowast transitions of the azomethinegroup This band shows a blue shift in the silicon complexesappearing at sim332 nm due to the polarisation within thegtC=Nminus chromophore caused due to formation of covalentsilicon-nitrogen bond The bands at sim260 and sim282 nmare due to 120587ndash120587lowast transitions within the benzene ring and(gtC=Nminus) band of the azomethine group respectively The Kband120587ndash120587lowast showed a red shift due to the overlap of the centralsilicon d-orbital with the p-orbital of the donor atom whichcauses an increase in conjugation and the B-bands undergoa hypsochromic shift in the complexes

32 IR Spectra The characteristic infrared absorption fre-quencies (in cmminus1) and their assignments for the ligands andtheir organosilicon(IV) complexes are given in Table 2 Theassignments of characteristic IR frequencies for the resultingcomplexes may be discussed as follows The IR spectra ofthese derivatives do not show any band in the region 3110ndash2740 cmminus1 which could be assigned to ](COOH)This clearlyindicates the deprotonation of the ligand as a result of com-plexationwith the silicon atom [28] It is further confirmed bythe appearance of sharp band at 520ndash535 cmminus1 in the spectraof all the complexes assignable to the ](SindashO) stretchingvibrations [30] In the spectra of the complexes two sharpbands are observed at 1604 and 1320 cmminus1 and are assignedto the ]asym(COO) and ]sym(COO) respectively Further-more the separation between asymmetric and symmetricvibrations is about 271 plusmn 5 cmminus1 indicating the covalentnature of the silicon-oxygen bond Ionic bonding and alsobridgingchelation can therefore be excluded and it must be

6 The chemical shift values relative to the TMS

peak are listed in Table 3 The 1H NMR spectral data ofthe ligands show single resonance at 120575 1125ndash1255 ppmwhich is absent in the spectra of the silicon complexesindicating the replacement of the carboxylic protons by theSi(IV) moiety The ligand shows a complex pattern in theregion 120575 810ndash692 ppm for the aromatic protons and this isobserved in the region 120575 795ndash710 ppm in the spectra of theorganosilicon(IV) complexes This shifting also supports thecoordination through the nitrogen atom The appearance ofsignals due to NH protons at the same positions in the ligandand its complexes shows the noninvolvement of this groupin coordination Schiff bases derived from glycine alaninevaline and methionine display fourthree aromatic protonsas expected In the spectrum of phenylalanine the integral ofthe aromatic region corresponds to nine protons five protonson the phenyl ring are recognizable at 74 ppm Methylene(for glycine alanine valine and methionine) protons on the120572-carbon of the carboxylic acid moieties appear at 120575 396ndash430 ppmThis signal is a singlet for (1) a doublet for (3) and(6) a triplet for (7) and (8) and a quartet for (2) and (5)all of which arise from the nonequivalent methylene protonsin structures (1ndash8) In general the complexes obtained werefound to exhibit no additional resonances and thus reflectthe purity of the complexesThe integration of peaks concurswith the number of protons postulated from the structuresproposed for the complexes The additional signal in the

region 120575 (132minus120 ppm) in Me3Si(L) complexes is due to

Me3Si group

34 13C NMR Spectra The 13C-NMR spectral data alongwith assignment of characteristic signals of ligands and itsorganosilicon(IV) complexes are presented in Table 4 Thesignals due to the carbon atoms attached to the carboxylateand the azomethine groups in ligands appear at 120575 1761ndash1785 ppm and 120575 1558ndash1636 ppm respectively However inthe spectra of the corresponding silicon complexes theseappear at 120575 1807ndash1861 ppm (carboxylate group) and at120575 1502ndash1527 ppm (azomethine group) respectively Theconsiderable shifts in the positions of these signals clearlyindicate the involvement of these functional groups in bondformationwith the silicon atomThe carbon ofmethyl groups(SindashCH

3) is observed at position comparable to other similar

compounds The occurrence of resonances in the range of120575 1183ndash1507 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra of the complexesand ligand was defined as aromatic carbon signals

Although it is also possible that the shifting of theazomethine carbon signal and carboxylate carbon signal isbecause of a change in hybridization of the nitrogen andoxygen attached to the group in the light of IR UV and 1HNMR spectral studies it seemsmore plausible that the shiftingin these carbons is due to the involvement of carboxylateoxygen and azomethine nitrogen in bonding

36 Antimicrobial Activities In vitro antibactericidal activityof the ligands (HL1minus4) silicon complexes and standarddrugs was screened separately for their antibacterial activity

against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacilluscereus Nocardia spp E aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiellaspp and Staphylococcus spp) Streptomycin was used as areference compound for antibacterial activities These bac-terial strains are used because they are known as commonpathogens of human beings The antimicrobial studies sug-gested that the Schiff bases are biologically active and theirsilicon complexes showed significantly enhanced antibacte-rial activity against microbial strains in comparison to thefree ligands Tested compounds showed zone of inhibitionranging 56mmndash129mm against the Gram-positive bacteriaand between 28mmndash108mm against Gram-negative bac-teria The ligands ( HL1minus4) show zone of inhibition ranging56mmndash99mmagainst Gram-positive bacteria and 28mmndash74mm against Gram-negative bacteria It has been observedthat the silicon complexes showed increased zone of inhi-bition against the bacterial strains (Table 5) as comparedto ligands On the basis of zone of inhibition producedagainst the test bacterium compound 3 was found to bemosteffective against Bacillus cereus Nocardia spp Staphylococcusspp E coli Klebsiella spp and E aerogenes with zone ofinhibition of 126mm 127mm 129mm 95mm 99mmand 87mm respectively (Table 5) This also showed that theantibacterial activity of ligands is greatly enhanced when it iscoordinated to silicon ions

Although it is difficult to make out an exact structure-activity relationship between the antimicrobial activity andthe structure of these complexes it can possibly be concludedthat the biological activity of the ligands exhibited a markedenhancement on coordination with the silicon ions againstall the test bacterial strains which shows that silicon chelatesare more active than the ligands This may be explained byTweedyrsquos chelation theory [40 41] according to which chela-tion reduces the polarity of the central metal atom becauseof the partial sharing of its positive charge with the ligandwhich favours permeation of the complexes through the lipidlayer of cell membrane [42] According to the Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability the lipidmembrane surroundingthe cell favors the passage of only lipid-soluble materialstherefore liposolubility is an important factor which controlsthe antimicrobial activity [43] On chelation polarity of the

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination

22 Synthesis of the Organosilicon(IV) Complexes The com-plexes were prepared under anhydrous conditions by theslow addition of a dry hot methanol solution of theethoxytrimethylsilane (047 g 3385mmole) in a 1 1 molarratio to a solution of the Schiff bases (0691ndash1127 g3385mmole) in dry methanol (60mL) The mixture wasrefluxed with constant stirring giving a clear solution inhalf an hour refluxing was then continued for 10ndash12 hr

Excess solvent was removed under reduced pressure and thecompound was finally dried in vacuum at a bath temperatureof 40 plusmn 5∘C on rotary evaporator after being repeatedlywashed with a mixture of methanol and n-hexane (1 1 vv)The crystalline solids were separated out and purified byrecrystallization from the same solvent The purity of thecompounds was checked by TLC using silica gel-G asadsorbent Their physical properties and analytical data arerecorded in Table 1

All the newly synthesized organosilicon(IV) complexeswere coloured solids soluble in DMSO DMF and methanolThe compounds were dissolved in DMF and molar conduc-tance 10minus3M of solution at 45∘C was measured The molarconductance valves of the complexes fall in the range 08ndash16 ohmminus1 cm2molminus1 indicating that these compounds arenonelectrolytic nature The analytical data were in the goodagreement with the proposed stoichiometry of the complexes(Table 1)

31 Electronic Spectra The electronic spectra of the Schiffbase and its 1 1 organosilicon(IV) complexes have beenrecorded in methanol (Figure 1) Complexes exhibit twobands in the regions 205ndash220 and 250ndash260 nm which maybe due to the 120587ndash120587lowast transition of benzenoid120587ndash120587lowast transitionof COO chromophore respectivelyThe spectra of the ligandshow a weak broad absorption band at sim340 nm whichcan be assigned to the 119899-120587lowast transitions of the azomethinegroup This band shows a blue shift in the silicon complexesappearing at sim332 nm due to the polarisation within thegtC=Nminus chromophore caused due to formation of covalentsilicon-nitrogen bond The bands at sim260 and sim282 nmare due to 120587ndash120587lowast transitions within the benzene ring and(gtC=Nminus) band of the azomethine group respectively The Kband120587ndash120587lowast showed a red shift due to the overlap of the centralsilicon d-orbital with the p-orbital of the donor atom whichcauses an increase in conjugation and the B-bands undergoa hypsochromic shift in the complexes

32 IR Spectra The characteristic infrared absorption fre-quencies (in cmminus1) and their assignments for the ligands andtheir organosilicon(IV) complexes are given in Table 2 Theassignments of characteristic IR frequencies for the resultingcomplexes may be discussed as follows The IR spectra ofthese derivatives do not show any band in the region 3110ndash2740 cmminus1 which could be assigned to ](COOH)This clearlyindicates the deprotonation of the ligand as a result of com-plexationwith the silicon atom [28] It is further confirmed bythe appearance of sharp band at 520ndash535 cmminus1 in the spectraof all the complexes assignable to the ](SindashO) stretchingvibrations [30] In the spectra of the complexes two sharpbands are observed at 1604 and 1320 cmminus1 and are assignedto the ]asym(COO) and ]sym(COO) respectively Further-more the separation between asymmetric and symmetricvibrations is about 271 plusmn 5 cmminus1 indicating the covalentnature of the silicon-oxygen bond Ionic bonding and alsobridgingchelation can therefore be excluded and it must be

6 The chemical shift values relative to the TMS

peak are listed in Table 3 The 1H NMR spectral data ofthe ligands show single resonance at 120575 1125ndash1255 ppmwhich is absent in the spectra of the silicon complexesindicating the replacement of the carboxylic protons by theSi(IV) moiety The ligand shows a complex pattern in theregion 120575 810ndash692 ppm for the aromatic protons and this isobserved in the region 120575 795ndash710 ppm in the spectra of theorganosilicon(IV) complexes This shifting also supports thecoordination through the nitrogen atom The appearance ofsignals due to NH protons at the same positions in the ligandand its complexes shows the noninvolvement of this groupin coordination Schiff bases derived from glycine alaninevaline and methionine display fourthree aromatic protonsas expected In the spectrum of phenylalanine the integral ofthe aromatic region corresponds to nine protons five protonson the phenyl ring are recognizable at 74 ppm Methylene(for glycine alanine valine and methionine) protons on the120572-carbon of the carboxylic acid moieties appear at 120575 396ndash430 ppmThis signal is a singlet for (1) a doublet for (3) and(6) a triplet for (7) and (8) and a quartet for (2) and (5)all of which arise from the nonequivalent methylene protonsin structures (1ndash8) In general the complexes obtained werefound to exhibit no additional resonances and thus reflectthe purity of the complexesThe integration of peaks concurswith the number of protons postulated from the structuresproposed for the complexes The additional signal in the

region 120575 (132minus120 ppm) in Me3Si(L) complexes is due to

Me3Si group

34 13C NMR Spectra The 13C-NMR spectral data alongwith assignment of characteristic signals of ligands and itsorganosilicon(IV) complexes are presented in Table 4 Thesignals due to the carbon atoms attached to the carboxylateand the azomethine groups in ligands appear at 120575 1761ndash1785 ppm and 120575 1558ndash1636 ppm respectively However inthe spectra of the corresponding silicon complexes theseappear at 120575 1807ndash1861 ppm (carboxylate group) and at120575 1502ndash1527 ppm (azomethine group) respectively Theconsiderable shifts in the positions of these signals clearlyindicate the involvement of these functional groups in bondformationwith the silicon atomThe carbon ofmethyl groups(SindashCH

3) is observed at position comparable to other similar

compounds The occurrence of resonances in the range of120575 1183ndash1507 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra of the complexesand ligand was defined as aromatic carbon signals

Although it is also possible that the shifting of theazomethine carbon signal and carboxylate carbon signal isbecause of a change in hybridization of the nitrogen andoxygen attached to the group in the light of IR UV and 1HNMR spectral studies it seemsmore plausible that the shiftingin these carbons is due to the involvement of carboxylateoxygen and azomethine nitrogen in bonding

36 Antimicrobial Activities In vitro antibactericidal activityof the ligands (HL1minus4) silicon complexes and standarddrugs was screened separately for their antibacterial activity

against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacilluscereus Nocardia spp E aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiellaspp and Staphylococcus spp) Streptomycin was used as areference compound for antibacterial activities These bac-terial strains are used because they are known as commonpathogens of human beings The antimicrobial studies sug-gested that the Schiff bases are biologically active and theirsilicon complexes showed significantly enhanced antibacte-rial activity against microbial strains in comparison to thefree ligands Tested compounds showed zone of inhibitionranging 56mmndash129mm against the Gram-positive bacteriaand between 28mmndash108mm against Gram-negative bac-teria The ligands ( HL1minus4) show zone of inhibition ranging56mmndash99mmagainst Gram-positive bacteria and 28mmndash74mm against Gram-negative bacteria It has been observedthat the silicon complexes showed increased zone of inhi-bition against the bacterial strains (Table 5) as comparedto ligands On the basis of zone of inhibition producedagainst the test bacterium compound 3 was found to bemosteffective against Bacillus cereus Nocardia spp Staphylococcusspp E coli Klebsiella spp and E aerogenes with zone ofinhibition of 126mm 127mm 129mm 95mm 99mmand 87mm respectively (Table 5) This also showed that theantibacterial activity of ligands is greatly enhanced when it iscoordinated to silicon ions

Although it is difficult to make out an exact structure-activity relationship between the antimicrobial activity andthe structure of these complexes it can possibly be concludedthat the biological activity of the ligands exhibited a markedenhancement on coordination with the silicon ions againstall the test bacterial strains which shows that silicon chelatesare more active than the ligands This may be explained byTweedyrsquos chelation theory [40 41] according to which chela-tion reduces the polarity of the central metal atom becauseof the partial sharing of its positive charge with the ligandwhich favours permeation of the complexes through the lipidlayer of cell membrane [42] According to the Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability the lipidmembrane surroundingthe cell favors the passage of only lipid-soluble materialstherefore liposolubility is an important factor which controlsthe antimicrobial activity [43] On chelation polarity of the

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination

Scheme 1 Representative equation illustrating the formation of Me3Si(L) complexes

the general equations in Scheme 1 showing the formation ofthe complexes

All the newly synthesized organosilicon(IV) complexeswere coloured solids soluble in DMSO DMF and methanolThe compounds were dissolved in DMF and molar conduc-tance 10minus3M of solution at 45∘C was measured The molarconductance valves of the complexes fall in the range 08ndash16 ohmminus1 cm2molminus1 indicating that these compounds arenonelectrolytic nature The analytical data were in the goodagreement with the proposed stoichiometry of the complexes(Table 1)

31 Electronic Spectra The electronic spectra of the Schiffbase and its 1 1 organosilicon(IV) complexes have beenrecorded in methanol (Figure 1) Complexes exhibit twobands in the regions 205ndash220 and 250ndash260 nm which maybe due to the 120587ndash120587lowast transition of benzenoid120587ndash120587lowast transitionof COO chromophore respectivelyThe spectra of the ligandshow a weak broad absorption band at sim340 nm whichcan be assigned to the 119899-120587lowast transitions of the azomethinegroup This band shows a blue shift in the silicon complexesappearing at sim332 nm due to the polarisation within thegtC=Nminus chromophore caused due to formation of covalentsilicon-nitrogen bond The bands at sim260 and sim282 nmare due to 120587ndash120587lowast transitions within the benzene ring and(gtC=Nminus) band of the azomethine group respectively The Kband120587ndash120587lowast showed a red shift due to the overlap of the centralsilicon d-orbital with the p-orbital of the donor atom whichcauses an increase in conjugation and the B-bands undergoa hypsochromic shift in the complexes

32 IR Spectra The characteristic infrared absorption fre-quencies (in cmminus1) and their assignments for the ligands andtheir organosilicon(IV) complexes are given in Table 2 Theassignments of characteristic IR frequencies for the resultingcomplexes may be discussed as follows The IR spectra ofthese derivatives do not show any band in the region 3110ndash2740 cmminus1 which could be assigned to ](COOH)This clearlyindicates the deprotonation of the ligand as a result of com-plexationwith the silicon atom [28] It is further confirmed bythe appearance of sharp band at 520ndash535 cmminus1 in the spectraof all the complexes assignable to the ](SindashO) stretchingvibrations [30] In the spectra of the complexes two sharpbands are observed at 1604 and 1320 cmminus1 and are assignedto the ]asym(COO) and ]sym(COO) respectively Further-more the separation between asymmetric and symmetricvibrations is about 271 plusmn 5 cmminus1 indicating the covalentnature of the silicon-oxygen bond Ionic bonding and alsobridgingchelation can therefore be excluded and it must be

assumed that the carboxylic group binds silicon unidentallyMoreover Δ] values of complexes below 200 cmminus1 would beexpected for bridging or chelating carboxylates but greaterthan 200 cmminus1 for the monodentate bonding carboxylateanions [31 32] The C=O band of the indole group appearsin the range of 1720ndash1735 cmminus1 in the ligands However astrong band at sim1730 cmminus1 due to the vibration of C=O groupremains unchanged in the spectra of complexes showingthereby the noninvolvement of this group in coordinationthus confirms that the C=O from indole is not involved inthe complexation

The sharp and strong band at 1628 plusmn 7 cmminus1 due to](gtC=Nminus) frequency of the free azomethine group in theligand shifts to the lower frequency (10ndash15 cmminus1) in thespectra of the silicon complexes indicating coordinationthrough the azomethine nitrogen to the silicon atom Theshift can be explained by a reduction of the carbon-nitrogendouble bond character in the azomethine group [33 34]Formation of a silicon nitrogen bond was further confirmedby the presence of a new band at 570ndash550 cmminus1 of ](SilarrN)[35] A characteristic band at 3250 cmminus1 due to ](NndashH) ofindole was observed in the spectra of the ligand and theirsilicon complexes Several new bands of strong to medium

33 1H NMR Spectra The 1H NMR spectral data of theligands and their silicon complexes have been recorded inDMSO-d

6 The chemical shift values relative to the TMS

peak are listed in Table 3 The 1H NMR spectral data ofthe ligands show single resonance at 120575 1125ndash1255 ppmwhich is absent in the spectra of the silicon complexesindicating the replacement of the carboxylic protons by theSi(IV) moiety The ligand shows a complex pattern in theregion 120575 810ndash692 ppm for the aromatic protons and this isobserved in the region 120575 795ndash710 ppm in the spectra of theorganosilicon(IV) complexes This shifting also supports thecoordination through the nitrogen atom The appearance ofsignals due to NH protons at the same positions in the ligandand its complexes shows the noninvolvement of this groupin coordination Schiff bases derived from glycine alaninevaline and methionine display fourthree aromatic protonsas expected In the spectrum of phenylalanine the integral ofthe aromatic region corresponds to nine protons five protonson the phenyl ring are recognizable at 74 ppm Methylene(for glycine alanine valine and methionine) protons on the120572-carbon of the carboxylic acid moieties appear at 120575 396ndash430 ppmThis signal is a singlet for (1) a doublet for (3) and(6) a triplet for (7) and (8) and a quartet for (2) and (5)all of which arise from the nonequivalent methylene protonsin structures (1ndash8) In general the complexes obtained werefound to exhibit no additional resonances and thus reflectthe purity of the complexesThe integration of peaks concurswith the number of protons postulated from the structuresproposed for the complexes The additional signal in the

region 120575 (132minus120 ppm) in Me3Si(L) complexes is due to

Me3Si group

34 13C NMR Spectra The 13C-NMR spectral data alongwith assignment of characteristic signals of ligands and itsorganosilicon(IV) complexes are presented in Table 4 Thesignals due to the carbon atoms attached to the carboxylateand the azomethine groups in ligands appear at 120575 1761ndash1785 ppm and 120575 1558ndash1636 ppm respectively However inthe spectra of the corresponding silicon complexes theseappear at 120575 1807ndash1861 ppm (carboxylate group) and at120575 1502ndash1527 ppm (azomethine group) respectively Theconsiderable shifts in the positions of these signals clearlyindicate the involvement of these functional groups in bondformationwith the silicon atomThe carbon ofmethyl groups(SindashCH

3) is observed at position comparable to other similar

compounds The occurrence of resonances in the range of120575 1183ndash1507 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra of the complexesand ligand was defined as aromatic carbon signals

Although it is also possible that the shifting of theazomethine carbon signal and carboxylate carbon signal isbecause of a change in hybridization of the nitrogen andoxygen attached to the group in the light of IR UV and 1HNMR spectral studies it seemsmore plausible that the shiftingin these carbons is due to the involvement of carboxylateoxygen and azomethine nitrogen in bonding

35 29Si NMR Spectra In order to confirm the geometryof the complexes 29Si NMR spectra of the complexes wererecorded (Figure 2)The value of 120575 29Si in the spectra reflectsthe coordination number of the nucleus in the correspondingsilicon complexes [38 39] In general 29Si chemical shiftmoves to lower frequency with increasing coordination

36 Antimicrobial Activities In vitro antibactericidal activityof the ligands (HL1minus4) silicon complexes and standarddrugs was screened separately for their antibacterial activity

against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacilluscereus Nocardia spp E aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiellaspp and Staphylococcus spp) Streptomycin was used as areference compound for antibacterial activities These bac-terial strains are used because they are known as commonpathogens of human beings The antimicrobial studies sug-gested that the Schiff bases are biologically active and theirsilicon complexes showed significantly enhanced antibacte-rial activity against microbial strains in comparison to thefree ligands Tested compounds showed zone of inhibitionranging 56mmndash129mm against the Gram-positive bacteriaand between 28mmndash108mm against Gram-negative bac-teria The ligands ( HL1minus4) show zone of inhibition ranging56mmndash99mmagainst Gram-positive bacteria and 28mmndash74mm against Gram-negative bacteria It has been observedthat the silicon complexes showed increased zone of inhi-bition against the bacterial strains (Table 5) as comparedto ligands On the basis of zone of inhibition producedagainst the test bacterium compound 3 was found to bemosteffective against Bacillus cereus Nocardia spp Staphylococcusspp E coli Klebsiella spp and E aerogenes with zone ofinhibition of 126mm 127mm 129mm 95mm 99mmand 87mm respectively (Table 5) This also showed that theantibacterial activity of ligands is greatly enhanced when it iscoordinated to silicon ions

Although it is difficult to make out an exact structure-activity relationship between the antimicrobial activity andthe structure of these complexes it can possibly be concludedthat the biological activity of the ligands exhibited a markedenhancement on coordination with the silicon ions againstall the test bacterial strains which shows that silicon chelatesare more active than the ligands This may be explained byTweedyrsquos chelation theory [40 41] according to which chela-tion reduces the polarity of the central metal atom becauseof the partial sharing of its positive charge with the ligandwhich favours permeation of the complexes through the lipidlayer of cell membrane [42] According to the Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability the lipidmembrane surroundingthe cell favors the passage of only lipid-soluble materialstherefore liposolubility is an important factor which controlsthe antimicrobial activity [43] On chelation polarity of the

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination

6 The chemical shift values relative to the TMS

peak are listed in Table 3 The 1H NMR spectral data ofthe ligands show single resonance at 120575 1125ndash1255 ppmwhich is absent in the spectra of the silicon complexesindicating the replacement of the carboxylic protons by theSi(IV) moiety The ligand shows a complex pattern in theregion 120575 810ndash692 ppm for the aromatic protons and this isobserved in the region 120575 795ndash710 ppm in the spectra of theorganosilicon(IV) complexes This shifting also supports thecoordination through the nitrogen atom The appearance ofsignals due to NH protons at the same positions in the ligandand its complexes shows the noninvolvement of this groupin coordination Schiff bases derived from glycine alaninevaline and methionine display fourthree aromatic protonsas expected In the spectrum of phenylalanine the integral ofthe aromatic region corresponds to nine protons five protonson the phenyl ring are recognizable at 74 ppm Methylene(for glycine alanine valine and methionine) protons on the120572-carbon of the carboxylic acid moieties appear at 120575 396ndash430 ppmThis signal is a singlet for (1) a doublet for (3) and(6) a triplet for (7) and (8) and a quartet for (2) and (5)all of which arise from the nonequivalent methylene protonsin structures (1ndash8) In general the complexes obtained werefound to exhibit no additional resonances and thus reflectthe purity of the complexesThe integration of peaks concurswith the number of protons postulated from the structuresproposed for the complexes The additional signal in the

region 120575 (132minus120 ppm) in Me3Si(L) complexes is due to

Me3Si group

34 13C NMR Spectra The 13C-NMR spectral data alongwith assignment of characteristic signals of ligands and itsorganosilicon(IV) complexes are presented in Table 4 Thesignals due to the carbon atoms attached to the carboxylateand the azomethine groups in ligands appear at 120575 1761ndash1785 ppm and 120575 1558ndash1636 ppm respectively However inthe spectra of the corresponding silicon complexes theseappear at 120575 1807ndash1861 ppm (carboxylate group) and at120575 1502ndash1527 ppm (azomethine group) respectively Theconsiderable shifts in the positions of these signals clearlyindicate the involvement of these functional groups in bondformationwith the silicon atomThe carbon ofmethyl groups(SindashCH

3) is observed at position comparable to other similar

compounds The occurrence of resonances in the range of120575 1183ndash1507 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra of the complexesand ligand was defined as aromatic carbon signals

Although it is also possible that the shifting of theazomethine carbon signal and carboxylate carbon signal isbecause of a change in hybridization of the nitrogen andoxygen attached to the group in the light of IR UV and 1HNMR spectral studies it seemsmore plausible that the shiftingin these carbons is due to the involvement of carboxylateoxygen and azomethine nitrogen in bonding

35 29Si NMR Spectra In order to confirm the geometryof the complexes 29Si NMR spectra of the complexes wererecorded (Figure 2)The value of 120575 29Si in the spectra reflectsthe coordination number of the nucleus in the correspondingsilicon complexes [38 39] In general 29Si chemical shiftmoves to lower frequency with increasing coordination

36 Antimicrobial Activities In vitro antibactericidal activityof the ligands (HL1minus4) silicon complexes and standarddrugs was screened separately for their antibacterial activity

against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacilluscereus Nocardia spp E aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiellaspp and Staphylococcus spp) Streptomycin was used as areference compound for antibacterial activities These bac-terial strains are used because they are known as commonpathogens of human beings The antimicrobial studies sug-gested that the Schiff bases are biologically active and theirsilicon complexes showed significantly enhanced antibacte-rial activity against microbial strains in comparison to thefree ligands Tested compounds showed zone of inhibitionranging 56mmndash129mm against the Gram-positive bacteriaand between 28mmndash108mm against Gram-negative bac-teria The ligands ( HL1minus4) show zone of inhibition ranging56mmndash99mmagainst Gram-positive bacteria and 28mmndash74mm against Gram-negative bacteria It has been observedthat the silicon complexes showed increased zone of inhi-bition against the bacterial strains (Table 5) as comparedto ligands On the basis of zone of inhibition producedagainst the test bacterium compound 3 was found to bemosteffective against Bacillus cereus Nocardia spp Staphylococcusspp E coli Klebsiella spp and E aerogenes with zone ofinhibition of 126mm 127mm 129mm 95mm 99mmand 87mm respectively (Table 5) This also showed that theantibacterial activity of ligands is greatly enhanced when it iscoordinated to silicon ions

Although it is difficult to make out an exact structure-activity relationship between the antimicrobial activity andthe structure of these complexes it can possibly be concludedthat the biological activity of the ligands exhibited a markedenhancement on coordination with the silicon ions againstall the test bacterial strains which shows that silicon chelatesare more active than the ligands This may be explained byTweedyrsquos chelation theory [40 41] according to which chela-tion reduces the polarity of the central metal atom becauseof the partial sharing of its positive charge with the ligandwhich favours permeation of the complexes through the lipidlayer of cell membrane [42] According to the Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability the lipidmembrane surroundingthe cell favors the passage of only lipid-soluble materialstherefore liposolubility is an important factor which controlsthe antimicrobial activity [43] On chelation polarity of the

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination

36 Antimicrobial Activities In vitro antibactericidal activityof the ligands (HL1minus4) silicon complexes and standarddrugs was screened separately for their antibacterial activity

against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacilluscereus Nocardia spp E aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiellaspp and Staphylococcus spp) Streptomycin was used as areference compound for antibacterial activities These bac-terial strains are used because they are known as commonpathogens of human beings The antimicrobial studies sug-gested that the Schiff bases are biologically active and theirsilicon complexes showed significantly enhanced antibacte-rial activity against microbial strains in comparison to thefree ligands Tested compounds showed zone of inhibitionranging 56mmndash129mm against the Gram-positive bacteriaand between 28mmndash108mm against Gram-negative bac-teria The ligands ( HL1minus4) show zone of inhibition ranging56mmndash99mmagainst Gram-positive bacteria and 28mmndash74mm against Gram-negative bacteria It has been observedthat the silicon complexes showed increased zone of inhi-bition against the bacterial strains (Table 5) as comparedto ligands On the basis of zone of inhibition producedagainst the test bacterium compound 3 was found to bemosteffective against Bacillus cereus Nocardia spp Staphylococcusspp E coli Klebsiella spp and E aerogenes with zone ofinhibition of 126mm 127mm 129mm 95mm 99mmand 87mm respectively (Table 5) This also showed that theantibacterial activity of ligands is greatly enhanced when it iscoordinated to silicon ions

Although it is difficult to make out an exact structure-activity relationship between the antimicrobial activity andthe structure of these complexes it can possibly be concludedthat the biological activity of the ligands exhibited a markedenhancement on coordination with the silicon ions againstall the test bacterial strains which shows that silicon chelatesare more active than the ligands This may be explained byTweedyrsquos chelation theory [40 41] according to which chela-tion reduces the polarity of the central metal atom becauseof the partial sharing of its positive charge with the ligandwhich favours permeation of the complexes through the lipidlayer of cell membrane [42] According to the Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability the lipidmembrane surroundingthe cell favors the passage of only lipid-soluble materialstherefore liposolubility is an important factor which controlsthe antimicrobial activity [43] On chelation polarity of the

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination

36 Antimicrobial Activities In vitro antibactericidal activityof the ligands (HL1minus4) silicon complexes and standarddrugs was screened separately for their antibacterial activity

against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacilluscereus Nocardia spp E aerogenes Escherichia coli Klebsiellaspp and Staphylococcus spp) Streptomycin was used as areference compound for antibacterial activities These bac-terial strains are used because they are known as commonpathogens of human beings The antimicrobial studies sug-gested that the Schiff bases are biologically active and theirsilicon complexes showed significantly enhanced antibacte-rial activity against microbial strains in comparison to thefree ligands Tested compounds showed zone of inhibitionranging 56mmndash129mm against the Gram-positive bacteriaand between 28mmndash108mm against Gram-negative bac-teria The ligands ( HL1minus4) show zone of inhibition ranging56mmndash99mmagainst Gram-positive bacteria and 28mmndash74mm against Gram-negative bacteria It has been observedthat the silicon complexes showed increased zone of inhi-bition against the bacterial strains (Table 5) as comparedto ligands On the basis of zone of inhibition producedagainst the test bacterium compound 3 was found to bemosteffective against Bacillus cereus Nocardia spp Staphylococcusspp E coli Klebsiella spp and E aerogenes with zone ofinhibition of 126mm 127mm 129mm 95mm 99mmand 87mm respectively (Table 5) This also showed that theantibacterial activity of ligands is greatly enhanced when it iscoordinated to silicon ions

Although it is difficult to make out an exact structure-activity relationship between the antimicrobial activity andthe structure of these complexes it can possibly be concludedthat the biological activity of the ligands exhibited a markedenhancement on coordination with the silicon ions againstall the test bacterial strains which shows that silicon chelatesare more active than the ligands This may be explained byTweedyrsquos chelation theory [40 41] according to which chela-tion reduces the polarity of the central metal atom becauseof the partial sharing of its positive charge with the ligandwhich favours permeation of the complexes through the lipidlayer of cell membrane [42] According to the Overtonersquosconcept of cell permeability the lipidmembrane surroundingthe cell favors the passage of only lipid-soluble materialstherefore liposolubility is an important factor which controlsthe antimicrobial activity [43] On chelation polarity of the

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination

metal ion is reduced to a greater extent due the overlappingof the ligand orbital and partial sharing of the positivecharge of the silicon ion with donor groups Moreoverdelocalization of the p-electrons over the whole chelate ringis increased and lipophilicity of the complexes is enhancedThe increased lipophilicity enhances the penetration of thecomplexes into the lipid membranes and blocks the siliconbinding sites in the enzymes of microorganisms In generalsilicon complexes are more active than ligands as they mayserve as principal cytotoxic species

4 Conclusions

We report here the synthesis and the characterization ofeight new complexes of silicon with Schiff bases derivedfrom isatins and amino acids The newly synthesized Schiffbases act as bidentate ligands coordinating to silicon ionthrough azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atomThe synthesized compounds were characterized by elementalanalysis UV-visible IR and NMR spectroscopy as wellas by conductance measurements Thus on the basis ofthe previously mentioned spectral features as well as theanalytical data the penta-coordinated trigonal bipyramidalgeometries shown in Figure 3 have been suggested for theorganosilicon(IV) complexes The Schiff bases and theirsilicon complexes were found to be highly active againstsome of the antibacterial species The activity is significantlyincreased on coordination
