Synthesis, crystal structures, photoluminescence, magnetic and antioxidant properties, and theoretical analysis of Zn(<scp>ii</scp>) and Cu(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes of an aminoalcohol ligand supported by benzoate counter anions

Abstract

Two photoluminescent Zn(<sc>ii</sc>) and Cu(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes are designed, characterized and assessed for DNA binding and antioxidant properties.
