Hydrogen bonding networks of nalidixic acid–copper(ii) complexes

Abstract

The usage of quinolone antibiotics has been threatened by antimicrobial resistance, and therefore it is of utmost importance to revitalize these drugs with approaches that may lead to improved properties and increased efficiency. Herein, the formation of hydrogen bonding networks of nalidixic acid–Cu(II) complexes is presented as a possible pathway to achieve that goal.
