Cu (II), Zn (II) & Cd(II) Metal Complexes with Heterocyclic Schiff Bases: Synthesis, Charactrization and Antimicrobial Study

Metals complexes of ML2 type of Cu (II), Zn (II) and Hg (II) were synthesised with Schiff bases prepared by condensation of substituted amino pyridine with 3-acetyl 4- hydroxyquinolin- 2-one. Newly synthesised metal complexes were characterized by various analytical and spectroscopic techniques including elemental analysis, magnetic moment, molar conductance along with electronic, thermal, infrared spectral analysis. Cu (II), Zn (II) and Hg (II) complexes of ligand (L1) were subjected for their XRD Study. On the basis of magnetic, ESR, XRD and spectral studies octahedral geometry is assigned to Cu (II) Complexes while Zn (II) and Hg (II) Complexes possess tetrahedral geometry. All the synthesized complexes have been evaluated for their antibacterial as well as antifungal activities which has show significant activity for both properties.
