Abstract

This study aims to synthesize, structurally analyze, and characterize a novel complex of glimepiride with yttrium, exploring its potential properties and applications. The glimepiride-yttrium complex was synthesized through a controlled reaction process involving glimepiride and yttrium chloride under specified conditions. The synthesized complex was subjected to a range of analytical techniques to determine its structural and chemical properties. These techniques included X-ray diffraction (XRD) for crystallographic analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for functional group identification, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface morphology examination. Additionally, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was employed to assess the elemental composition of the complex.
