Synthesis and Characterization of Bioactive Transition Metal Complexes of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) using 1 naphthyl amine and salicylaldehyde

摘要

The Schiff base complexes Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) of salicylaldehyde and 1 naphthyl amine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, electronic, infrared, SEM, spectral measurements and antibacterial studies. The conductance measurements indicate that all the complexes are non-electrolytes. The results indicate that the metal complexes of Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) are hexa-coordinated and have moderate antibacterial activity.
