ABSTRACT:

Titanium(III) chloride reacts with schiff bases derived from benzaldehydes/acetophenone with 3-amino-2-benzofuran carboxamide / ethyl-3-amino-2-benzofuran carboxylate to yield complexes having general composition[Ti.2L.2H2O]Cl3 (where L=schiff base). The ligands and their corresponding Ti(III) complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, molar conductance,magnetic susceptibility, IR & electronic spectra and TGA. The ligands act in a bidentate manner. Based on these studies octahedral geometries have been proposed for these complexes. The ligands and their Ti(III)complexes have screened for antibacterial activities.
