SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF SCHIFF BASE AND ITS METAL COMPLEXES
AbstractThe biological effects of transition metal complexes that include a wide range of ligands are distinguishable from one another. In an effort to produce a novel metal (II) complexes the conventional reflux method has been used to the interaction of two ligands, N-(2H-benzo[d] [1,2,3] triazol-2-yl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl) ethanimine as L1 and an amino acid Alanine as L2 with freshly produced Zinc, Nickel, Manganese chloride’s solution in a 1:1:1 molar ratio. In order to characterize the ligand and metal (II) complexes that have been synthesized, several approaches such as elemental analysis, molecular weight analysis, thermal analysis and spectroscopic analysis are used. A comparison was made between the antibacterial activity of all of the compounds that were created and that of Streptomycin, Ciprofloxacin and Nystatin. The compounds were tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as a variety of fungal strains. The insecticidal activity of each compound was evaluated against Plodia interpunctella and the findings revealed that the compounds exhibited promising results.
