Three novel metal derivatives of azo glycol derivatives (11-13) have been synthesized through metal coordination of diol moiety of azo glycol molecules with Cu. The glycol molecules were found to be highly active for 2, 2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging. Metal coordinates (11-13) showed less antioxidant activity than ligands themselves. Electronic spectral transitions are designated by time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Molecular dipole moment was also calculated.
