Metal complexes of Ni (II) and Cu (II) with Schiff-base were successfully synthesized, characterized by solubility, melting point/decomposition temperature, molar conductivity, FT-IR, magnetic susceptibility, and elemental analysis. The complexes have a 1:2 metal-ligand ratio and low molar conductance values, indicating nonelectrolytes. They were tested for antibacterial activity against pseudomonas and Escherichia coli and Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. Both the free ligand and the complexes showed antibacterial activity, with higher activity at high concentrations. The complexes showed better antibacterial and fungal activity than the free ligand.
