Synthesis, Characterisation and Antibacterial Activity of Metal(II) (Mn(II) Fe(II) Co(II) Ni(II) and Cu(II)) Complexes of Schiff Base Derived from 1-(4-Chlorophenyl) Ethanone, m-Hydroxyaniline and Phenylethanone
Author(s): Nasiru Pindiga Yahaya* and Augustine Umar
Schiff base metal Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes derived from 1(4-Chlorophenyl) ethanone and m-Hydroxyaniline (HL1) and Phenylethanone and m-Hydroxyaniline (HL2) were synthesized using reported methods. Complexes and the ligands were characterized using solubility, melting point, molar conductance and spectra compares of FTIR and Uv-visible. The solidity shows that the best solvents for all the complexes is DMSO and sparingly soluble in methanol and ethanol. The melting points of the complexes were higher than the parent ligands. The molar conductance reveals that all the metal complexes are non-electrolytes. The IR data for the HL1 shows that its coordination with metal ions in monodendated manner via the azomethine N-Donor site whereas the HL2 has coordinated to the metal ions in monodentate manner too via the azomethi..
