Synthesis, spectroscopic and fungicidal studies of Cu (II) soaps derived from groundnut and sesame oils and their urea complexes

Abstract

The application of surfactants in daily life increases due to large number of useful applications in industries and pharmaceuticals. The synthesized copper soaps and their urea complexes have been confirmed by UV, IR, NMR and ESR spectral analysis. The antifungal activities of copper soaps derived from groundnut and sesame oils and their urea complexes have been evaluated by testing against Alternariaalternata and Aspergillusniger at different concentrations by agar plate technique.
