Mixed ligand complexes are widely used in the field of pharmaceutical science due to their curing nature to various diseases. The present study was aimed to synthesize and explore the antioxidant activity of cobalt-quercetin-aspartic acid mixed ligand complex using quercetin (Q) and aspartic acid (AA) as ligands. The complex was synthesized by applying a versatile approach and characterized with the help of available sophisticated analytical techniques, e.g. FT-IR, UV-VIS, 1HNMR, DSC and elemental analysis. The antioxidant activity of the free ligands as well as mixed ligand complex was also explored well and observed that mixed ligand complex is more antioxidant than the free ligands.
