Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial studies of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) Schiff Base complexes derived from Ethyl-methyl Ketone

Abstract

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(lI) with Schiff base formedby condensation of 2-aminophenol and ethyl-methyl ketone havebeen synthesized and their physico-chemical properties have beeninvestigated by microanalytical, UV-Vis, IR spectral, conductance,TGA and magnetic measurements. The ligand field parameters ofthe complexes have also been calculated. The antibacterial activitieshave been tested. The complexes are of general formulae[MLCI₂(H₂O₂].2H₂O and [ML(H₂O₂].CI₂·2H₂O.
