Examining the impact of hydroxy group position on antibacterial activity of copper complexes derived from vanillin-based Schiff bases: Experimental and computational analysis.

The positioning of the hydroxy group plays a crucial role in the coordination of Schiff bases with copper ions and their antibacterial effectiveness. This potential is an area of interest for future exploration, although no specific studies have been conducted. This study aims to reveal the significance of the positioning of the hydroxy group in the ability of the Schiff base to coordinate with copper ion and its antibacterial efficacy against E.
