Unveiling a novel terpolymer-metal complex: A detailed exploration of synthesis, characterization, and its potential as an antimicrobial and antioxidant agent

In an innovative approach to push the boundaries of antimicrobial and antioxidant strategies, we present synthesis characterization a novel terpolymer derived from N-Phenyl-p-phenylenediamine 2-aminopyrimidine with formaldehyde in presence dimethylformamide as reaction medium through polycondensation technique. Leveraging this ligand, introduce intriguing terpolymer-metal complex, created Ni (II) metal ion. our pursuit validate structure properties these substances, performed meticulous characterizations using important spectral studies such FTIR, electronic, 1H NMR spectroscopy. This provided us unique fingerprint for (N-Phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-2-aminopyrimidine-formaldehyde) terpolymeric ligand (PAF) its complex. addition, molecular weights PAF were established gel permeation chromatography.Upon investigation, PAF-Ni complex exhibited impressive activity, tested by disc-diffusion Both demonstrated potency against range harmful bacterial fungal strains, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger. extension their biological applications, evaluated free radical scavenging activity DPPH assay. The showcased enhanced 73.94% (IC50 = 17.58) compared 63.06% 27.61) at 100 μg/ml indicating potential role oxidative stress management.
