Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a Schiff base derived from aniline and salicylaldehyde and its Co(II), Mn(II), and Zn(II) complexes is reported; several physical tools, in particular, elemental analysis, infrared and NMR techniques were used to investigate the chemical structure of the reported complexes. The ligand is found to be bound to the metal atom through the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group, which is also supported by spectroscopic techniques. The results obtained by FT-IR and NMR showed that the Schiff base-transition metal complexes have octa hedral geometry. Biological screening of the complexes reveals that the Schiff base-transition metal complexes show significant activity against all microorganisms.
