In this study, three complexes of [Zn(H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>L)Cl] (<jats:bold>1<\/jats:bold>), [Cu(H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>L)(H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O)(NO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>)] (<jats:bold>2<\/jats:bold>) and [Ni(H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>L)(NO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>)].2H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O (<jats:bold>3<\/jats:bold>) were synthesized from a 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde derived ligand [H<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>L = ((<jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>)-2-(((2-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)quinolin-3-yl)methylene)amino)ethanol. The compounds were characterized using physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The results demonstrate that the free ligand behaves as a tridentate ligand with one oxygen and two nitrogen (ONN) donor atoms in 1:1 metal:ligand ratio. The formation constants of the complexes were found to be (<jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>Zn(II)<\/jats:sub> = 2.3 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>, <jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>Cu(II)<\/jats:sub> = 2.9 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>6<\/jats:sup>, <jats:italic>and K<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>Ni(II)<\/jats:sub> = 3.8 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup>). The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the reactions were spontaneous with exothermic nature of metal-ligand interaction energies. Based on the analyses of the experimental (EDX, FTIR, PXRD, MS and TGA) and DFT results, a distorted tetrahedral, a distorted square pyramidal and square planar geometry for Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes, respectively, were proposed. The B3LYP calculated IR frequencies and TD-B3LYP calculated absorption spectra were found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental results. The powder XRD data confirmed that the Zn(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes have polycrystalline nature with average crystallite sizes of 27.86, 33.54, 37.40\u00a0\u00c5, respectively. <jats:italic>In vitro<\/jats:italic> antibacterial activity analyses of the complexes were studied with disk diffusion method, in which the complexes showed better activity than the precursor ligand. Particularly the Cu(II) complex showed higher percent activity index (62, 90%), than both Zn(II) (54, 82%) and Ni(II) (41, 68%) complexes against both <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>P. aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>, respectively. Using the DPPH assay, the complexes were further assessed for their antioxidant capacities. All metal complexes showed improved antioxidant activity than the free ligand. Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes, which had IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> values of 10.46 and 8.62\u00a0\u03bcg\/ml, respectively, showed the best antioxidant activity. The calculated results of Lipinski\u2019s rule of five also showed that the target complexes have drug-like molecular nature and similarly, the results of binding mode of action of these compounds against <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> DNA gyrase B and <jats:italic>P. aeruginosa<\/jats:italic> LasR.DNA were found to be in good agreement with the <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> biological activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fchem.2022.1053532","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]],"date-time":"2022-11-03T11:00:30Z","timestamp":1667473230000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of zinc(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of an aminoquinoline derivative"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Tadewos","family":"Damena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mamaru Bitew","family":"Alem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Digafie","family":"Zeleke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tegene","family":"Desalegn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajalakshmanan","family":"Eswaramoorthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taye B.","family":"Demissie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molstruc.2019.02.108","article-title":"Synthesis, DFT\/TD-DFT theoretical studies, experimental characterization, electrochemical and antioxidant activity of Fe(III) complexes of bis (dimethylglyoximato) guanine","volume":"1186","author":"Abane-Merzouk","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
