Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, Antioxidant Properties and Antimicrobial Activity of Transition Metal Complexes from Novel Schiff Base

Benzoylpyridine and nitro benzoic acid hydrazides were used to examine novel Schiff base Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(II), Cu(II) complexes. Elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic measurements other methods that like FT-IR, UV–Vis 1H NMR studies have been deduce the nature of bonding structure these These revealed Fe(II) coordinated by four donor atoms in all Free radical scavenging activity was determined according elimination radicals from 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). compounds compared known antibiotics ciprofloxacin fluconazole their ability inhibit growth pathogenic bacteria Bacillus subtilis (as gramme positive bacteria), Pseudomonas sp. negative fungus Rhizoctonia sp., Alternaria Fusarium oxysporum. As an antibacterial antioxidant agent, complexes are more effective than ligand. The copper (II) complex has discovered be most agent.
