The structural, spectral, thermal, and biological properties of hydroxyphenylacetic acid and lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium 2-hydroxyphenylacetates were analyzed by means of infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, electronic absorption spectroscopy UV-VIS, nuclear magnetic resonance H and C NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DSC), and quantum-chemical calculations at B3LYP/6-311++G** level. Moreover, the antioxidant (ABTS, FRAP, and CUPRAC assays), antibacterial (against , , , and ) and antifungal (against properties of studied compounds were measured. The effect of alkali metal ions on the structure, thermal, and biological properties of 2-hydroxyphenylacetates was discussed.
