Abstract

V. Uma* and Pratibha Mittal

Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Mn (II) complexes of Schiff bases have been prepared and characterized by their physical, spectral and analytical data. The newly synthesized metal complexes having a composition [M (L) 2X2], where M=Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Mn (II), Where, L=monodentate ligand (derived from p-chloro benzaldehyde, p-nitro benzaldehyde or p-methoxy benzaldehyde with vinyl aniline or allyl amine) X =Cl shows a square planar geometry. In order to evaluate the biological activity of Schiff bases and their metal complexes, the Schiff-bases and their new metal complexes have been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity against bacterial species like- Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella and Psuedomonas and as well as fungal species like- Candida albicans or Candida krusei.
