Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Complexes of N-Isonicotinamido-Furfuraldimine and Investigation of Their Biological Activity

摘要

New complexes of N-isonicotinamido-furfuraldimine (INH-FFL) with Cu (II), Co (II) and Ni (II) have been prepared and characterized by analytical and physico-chemical techniques, such as magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements, electronic and IR spectral studies. The infrared spectral studies revealed the bidentate nature of the Schiff base in the complexes. A square- planar geometry is suggested for all the complexes. The prepared complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity showing moderate outcome.
