Abstract
A series of metal(II) unsymmetrical Schiff-base complexes, {M(C10H6OCH:N(CH2)2N : C(CH3)CH : C(CH3)O), where M=Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)}, and their 2,2′-dipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) adducts are synthesized and characterized by microanalysis, magnetic susceptibility, conductance, IR and UV-Vis spectra. The ligand coordinates using the N2O2 chromophore to give a two-metal-center four-coordinate square-planar geometry. IR and UV-Vis spectra are consistent with octahedral adducts. The compounds are non-electrolytes in nitromethane and magnetic moments indicate that the complexes are magnetically dilute. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds against ten bacteria and one fungus are reported. The Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes showed good activity against many of the organisms while their adducts are generally not sensitive. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the sensitive compounds are between 3.0–13.0 mg mL−1.Keywords
