Abstract

Rahul Kumar Rastogi*, Poonam Garg and Shamim Ahmad

Metal chelates of Fe(III),Mn(III) and V(III) with schiff bases have been synthesized by the condensation of 5-nitrobenzaldehyde with hydrazinecarboxamide/thiosemicarbazidehydrochloride and characterized by using physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The ligands NBALHC and NBALTSC were found to behave in neutral bidentate (N,O/S)manner. The complexes formed by these ligands have been found to have octahedral / square-pyramidal stereochemistry. The ligands and their respective complexes were also screened for their antibacterial activity.
