• The complex formation between curcumin (Cur) and manganese (II) was studied by UV–visible spectroscopy.
• Concentration profiles and determination of stability constant for complexation reaction were extracted.
• A conformational mechanism for Cur-Mn(II) complex is proposed by density functional theory (DFT).
• Antiradical activity of Cur and Cur–Mn(II) complex was evaluated: Cur has a higher activity.
• BDE and HOMO of Cur and the complex were calculated in order to testify antioxidant behaviors.
The complex formation between curcumin (Cur) and Manganese (II) chloride tetrahydrate (MnCl2.4H2O) was studied by UV–Vis and IR spectroscopy. Spectroscopic data suggest that Cur can chelate Manganese cations. A simple multi-wavelength model-based method was used to define stability constant for complexation reaction regardless of the spectra overlapping of components. Also, pure spectra and concentration profiles of all components were extracted using this method. Density functional theory (DFT) was also used to view insight into complexation mechanism. Antioxidant activity of Cur and Cur–Mn(II) complex was evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging method. Bond dissociation energy (BDE), the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of Cur and the complex also were calculated at PW91/TZ2P level of theory using ADF 2009.01 package. The experimental results show that Cur has a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than Cur–Mn(II). This observation is theoretically justified by means of lower BDE and higher HOMO and LUMO energy values of Cur ligand as compared with those of Cur–Mn(II) complex.
