This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of drug-metal complexes using various spectroscopic and analytical techniques to confirm their structures and compositions. The complexes are evaluated for their stability, solubility, and physicochemical properties, which are crucial for potential therapeutic applications. Biological studies, including antimicrobial and cytotoxic assays, are conducted to assess the enhanced or altered bioactivity of the drug upon metal coordination. The results demonstrate that metal complexation can improve drug efficacy and selectivity against specific biological targets. These findings highlight the potential of drug-metal complexes as promising candidates for the development of novel pharmaceutical agents.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses significant challenges to electronic device performance and human health due to increased electromagnetic pollution. Conducting polymer nan composites have emerged as promising materials for EMI shielding owing to their tunable electrical conductivity and strong microwave absorption capabilities. Incorporating nanoparticles into conducting polymers enhances their shielding efficiency by improving electrical, mechanical, and absorption properties. These nanocomposites, based on polymers like polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene, offer flexile, lightweight, and robust solutions for shielding in telecommunications, aerospace, and military applications. Ongoing research focuses on optimizing composite microstructures and filler interactions to develop next-generation EMI shielding materials with superior performance and multifunctionality
