Abstract

The aims of this research are to synthesize and determine the formula, characteristics, and complex structure of Cu(II) and Co(II) with 4-aminophenol and to investigate their antibacterial activity. The complexes were synthesized by refluxing a solution of CuSO₄·5H₂O and CoSO₄·7H₂O, respectively, with 4-aminophenol in methanol for 1 h. The products were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermal analysis, conductivity, FTIR, and magnetic moment. The formation of the complex was indicated by shifting of maximum wavelength of the metal solution toward shorter, i.e., 817 to 421 nm for Cu(II) and 566 to 450 nm for Co(II). From the characterization, the proposed formulas of the complexes are [Cu(4-aminophenol)₄]SO₄ and [Co(4-aminophenol)₄(H₂O)₂]SO₄·5H₂O forming square planar and octahedral geometry, respectively. Both complexes are paramagnetic with negligible antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
