Synthesis, Characterization And Preliminary Antimicrobial Studies Of Some Schiff Base Ligands And Their Co(ii), Mn(vii), Mo(vii) Complexes

ABSTRACT The synthesis, characterization and preliminary antimicrobial studies of some novel Schiff base ligands;  N,N/ - Bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,4-phenylenediimine(M) and N,N/ - Bis(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)-1,4-phenylenediimine (N)  were undertaken. It was prepared by the condensation reaction of 1,4-phenylenediamine with 4-dimethylaminobenzadehyde and 2-hydroxybenzaldehde .Their Co(II), Mn(VII), Mo(VII) metal complexes were synthesized by coupling them respectively with the individual formed ligands. These ligands and their complexes were characterized on the basis of their melting p…
