Manganese complexes of the ligand HphoxCOOR (R=H or Me) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis, ESI-MS, ligand-field spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and paramagnetic 1H NMR. The ligands, chirally pure or racemic, influence the structures of the complexes formed. Manganese(III) complexes of the ligand HphoxCOOMe are square-pyramidal or octahedral with two ligands bound in a trans
The synthesis of Yanglingmycin and its enantiomer, along with eighteen Yanglingmycin analogues is reported. The structures were confirmed mainly by analyses of NMR spectral data. Antibacterial activity assays showed that Yanglingmycin and some of its analogues exhibited significant antibacterial activities against two important agricultural pathogenic bacteria, Ralstonia solanacearum and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 3.91 to 15.62 µg/mL. The antibacterial activities exhibited by Yanglingmycin and its analogues are promising, suggesting potential in the development of compounds for novel bactericides.
