Research

My research spins round the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, biological (antioxidant/antibacterial/antifungal/anticancer) activities and collaboratively DFT/Computational studies and molecular docking of transition metal(II) Schiff bases, mixed-ligands/ mixed-drugs complexes which is hoped to possess distinctive and improve properties (applications in material science as metal source, in industry as pigments/catalyst and in medicine as chemotherapeutics) compared to the individual ligands or drugs.
