The crystal structures of complexes 4, 5 and 6 revealed that the geometry around the copper(II) centre is distorted square pyramidal. In this coordination manner, the copper(II) centre bound to two oxygen atoms from dbmH, two nitrogen atoms from the co-ligand (phen or bipy), and also to a counter ion (NO3- or Cl- or Br-). The molar conductivity measurement in nitromethane displayed a Lambda(m) value of 14-55 Omega(- 1) cm(2) mole(-1), which confirms that they are non electrolyte. The antimicrobial, antidiabetic studies and antioxidant properties for all six complexes were also evaluated. All the complexes showed moderate to good antibacterial activities against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and B. subtillis. Complex 5 was observed to be more active than ciprofloxacin against all the tested bacteria. Antidiabetes properties of the complexes were also investigated using alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase assay. Complex 5 had 27 mu M and > 1000 mu M while the reference drug, acarbose, had 28 mu M and 948 mu M for alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibition, respectively. Complex 5 with the lowest IC50 value of 437 mu M showed the highest NO center dot scavenging activity than other complexes and even gallic acid with IC50 values of 457 mu M (standard drug). However, all the complexes showed poor free radical scavenging ability. Density functional theory was used to determine the appropriate geometries and electronic properties of complexes 4, 5 and 6 at the atomic level.
