Abstract:
This study synthesized and characterized the transition metal chelates of Mn (II) with Schiff base. Elemental analysis data showed that the isolated chelates are in a 1:1 [M: L] ratio. The molar conductance values revealed that the chelates are non-electrolytes in nature. The results of magnetic moment measurements demonstrated that the chelates of Mn (II) have unpaired electrons. The infrared spectral data displayed the main coordination sites of Salicylaldimine towards Mn (ll) ions. The electronic spectrum results of the Schiff base ligand and its chelates suggest that the Mn (II) has an octahedral structure. This study paper summarizes the synthesis via the traditional method of the Schiff base and its metal complex. The antibacterial function of the Schiff base’s metal complex has also been discussed. Using H1 NMR and elemental analysis, the compound’s structure was reported. The obtained Schiff bases have been evaluated against bacteria such as E. coli and S. aureus.
Keywords: Schiff base complex – Manganese (II) synthesis – Antibacterial activity – Octahedral structure
