Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial studi es on Cobalt (II), Nickel (II), Copper (II) and Zinc (II) complexes of N, O, S donor Schiff bases
Abstract
Biologically
important Schiff bases L1 8-nitro-2-{[(5'-methyl-3'-isoxazolyl)
imino] methyl} naphtha [NMIIMN], L2 N-[5'-methyl-3'-isoxazolyl]-N-[(E)1-(-2 Thiophene)] methylidine] amine
[MITMA] have been synthesized. Metal Chelates of NMIIMN and MITMA with Co (II),
Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) metals have been synthesized and the structures of
these ch-elates have been elucidated by elemental analysis, 1H_NMR,
Mass, IR electronic spectral data and magneticmoments. From these studies it is
found that the ligands NMIIMN and MITMA act as bidentate ligands coordinating
through oxygen and nitrogen donor atoms in the case of NMIIMN, sulpher and
nitrogen atoms in the case of MITMA. The chelates of Co (II), Ni (II) and Zn
(II) appear to be octahedral and Cu (II) appears to be tetragonal geometry.
Antimicrobial activity of the ligands and their metal complexes against bacteria
(Bacillus, Pseudomonas) and fungus (R. Solani, A. Niger) has been carried out.
It is found that the metal complexes have higher activities than those of free
ligands
