Description

Novel Schiff bases, Furan-2-carboxylic acid pyridin-4-ylmethyleneamide, and Thiophene-2-carboxylic acid 1H-indol-2-ylmethyleneamide and their mononuclear Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, UV-visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR and EPR spectroscopy. The complexes are non-electrolytes as evidenced from the molar conductance vaules. The ligands and their complexes have been tested for their antimicrobial activity against one gram positive bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and fungi Candida albicans. It is found that metal complexes exhibited more activity than the free ligand. 2021 Scientific Publishers. All rights reserved.
