| Abstract: |
Green synthesis has emerged as a sustainable alternative for preparing inorganic metal complexes, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to conventional chemical methods. This empirical study investigates the synthesis of copper, zinc, and iron metal complexes using plant-based reducing agents and natural stabilizers. A comparative analysis of seventeen experimental batches revealed that metal complexes synthesized through green routes exhibited enhanced catalytic efficiency with 85-92% conversion rates in degradation reactions. The study employed characterization techniques including UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, and SEM to confirm complex formation and morphological properties. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant correlation (r > 0.92) between synthesis parameters and catalytic activity. Our findings indicate that green-synthesized metal complexes possess comparable or superior antimicrobial and catalytic properties to chemically synthesized counterparts, with reduced toxicity profiles. The applications span environmental remediation, pharmaceutical development, and industrial catalysis. Data-driven analysis revealed optimal synthesis conditions: plant extract concentration of 10-15%, pH 6.0-7.5, and reaction temperature of 60-80 degrees Celsius. These results validate the feasibility of scaling green synthesis methods for industrial implementation while maintaining ecological sustainability and cost-effectiveness. |
