Kaushal Kumar Saxena, S. K. Kulshrestha, S. K. Saxena and M. H. Khan*

The antifungal and antibacterial investigations were carried out of some Schiff bases obtained by condensation of di-methyl amino benzaldehyde and fluoro, bromo, nitro, methyl, methoxy and ethoxy substituted anilenes. The aforementioned studies were also carried out after complexing the above compounds with certain metals Co, Ni, Rh, Os, Pt. The results reveal that some of the compounds show significant antibacterial and antifungal activity. The metal complexes show better activity than those of respective Schiff bases.
