Abstract
Since late 1930s copper has been recognized as an essential trace metal in living organisms. Copper(II) cation plays the role as a coordination center not only in the single-nuclear complexes, but also in the multinuclear coordination compounds with a particular emphasis on the polymers as ligands. The selected complex compounds of copper(II) with ligands which are organic and inorganic species have been characterized taking into account their physico-chemical properties. In addition, the complex compounds containing ligands such as Schiff ’s bases, hydrocarbons, organic bases, and also polycarboxylic anions: oxydiacetate, thiodiacetate, iminodiacetate and dipicolinate have been described considering their role in the biological systems. Nowadays tested coordination compounds of copper(II) have interesting antibacterial activities against bacteria strains that are antagonistic to the human. The antibacterial activity of copper(II) complex is stronger than some of the known antibacterial substances e.g. ciprofloxacin. In addition, copper(II) complex compounds exhibit a 64-fold greater antimicrobial properties than copper(II) chloride. Moreover, these compounds have antifungal and antioxidant properties. The activities of antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant complex compounds of copper( II) have been compared to the reactivities of these compounds with complexes used as reference substances, e.g. L-ascorbic acid, in the assay using nitrotetrazolium blue.
