ABSTRACT
New series of Ag,
Cd(II), Ce(III), Co(II), Cr(III), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Pb(II) complexes with (E)-N-(4-(2-
hydroxybenzylideneamino) phenylsulfonyl) {S.S} have been synthesized. These
compounds have been characterized by different physico-chemical techniques
like, melting point, elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV spectroscopy, 1H
NMR spectroscopy, conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility and mass
spectral analysis. The metal ions concentrations have been determined using inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Spectroscopic studies suggest
coordination most of complexes in a regular octahedral arrangement in 2L:1M
molar ratio by two N azomethine and two OH phenolic from Schiff base {S.S} in
the form of [ML2(H2O)2], M metal, L ligand
{S.S}. Complexes have been screened for their antibacterial {Gram negative
bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa)}, {Gram positive
bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Sterptococcus pneumoniae)} and antifungal
(Aspergillus fumigates and Candida albicans) showing promising antimicrobial
biological activity.
