The newly prepared compounds have been characterized by several spectroscopic techniques. All compounds are evaluated for their antioxidant and antibacterial potential. For the antioxidant studies, three tests are applied; DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazylradical) scavenging, metal chelating and reducing power activity. Compound 4 exhibits the best DPPH scavenging activity as 35.2% at 100 mg/L concentration. The metal chelating activities of compounds 3 and 4 are 69.7% and 56.4%, respectively. Reducing power activities of compounds 3 and 4 are higher than alpha-tocopherol which is used as positive control. All compounds show moderate antibacterial activity when compared to the standard antibiotics, amikacin and tetracycline.en10.1134/S0022476615080284info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesssynthesismetalphthalocyaninesaggregationantioxidantantibacterial activityArticle56816381645Q4Q4WOS:0003690608000282-s2.0-84961371076
