A new Cu(II)-O-Carvacrotinate complex: Synthesis, characterization and biological activity

A novel Cu(II) complex based on a natural product derivative ligand derived from carvacrol has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis is reported. The antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities of the Cu(II) complex, O-carvacrotinic acid and carvacrol have been explored.145
