Synthesis And Characterization Of Schiff Base Aniline With 5-Bromo -2- Hydroxyl Benzaldehyde And Their Metal Complexes

A series of transition metal complexes of Cu (II), Co (II), Mn (II), Fe (II), Ni (II) and V (II) were prepared from bidentate schiff base. The Schiff base ligand synthesized from the condensation of 5- Bromo 2-Hydroxy Benzaldehyde (NEELIMA, D, KULKARNI; P, K, BHATTACHARYA. Can. J. Chem. 1987, 65, 348) and Aniline in an alcohol medium. These metal complexes were characterized on the basis of their analytical data like IR, NMR. The ligand and their metal complexes were screened antibacterial activity against various bacteria like Escherichia coli, B. subtilis. The result indicated that the complexes exhibited good antibacterial activities.
