In this study, a binuclear combination of Cu(II) and Ni(II) with formula [Cu(opd)2(H2O)(μ-SCN) Ni(opd)(SCN)3] has been synthesized and studied using UV-Vis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The solvothermal method was used to create the nanoscale of (a). X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods were used to characterize the nanoparticles.
The inhibition and dilution methods were used to measure the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the lowest bactericidal concentration (MBC), which demonstrated that nano-complex (a) exhibits antibacterial properties. Two gram-positive bacteria, which included Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ATCC 25923) and Enterococcus faecalis (Enter_faeca ATCC 29212), together with two gram-negative bacteria, which included Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC 25922) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853), were tested. The results showed that the nano-complex [Cu(opd)2(H2O)(μ-SCN) Ni(opd)(SCN)3] showed higher antimicrobial activity than ligand.
The Cu-Ni/SPGE system was used to conduct an electrochemical measurement of IRN. The Cu-Ni/SPGE outperformed the untreated SPGE in terms of IRN oxidation.
