Abstract
The complexes of a series of transition metal ions including Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) with salicylidene- o -aminothiophenol and bis(benzylidene)ethylenediamine or bis(acetophenone)ethylenediamine have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectra, reflectance spectra, magnetic measurements, and thermogravimetric analyses. All complexes have been screened for their antibacterial activity against bacterial strains using the disc diffusion technique. It is established that the complexes possess moderate antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium , Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens , the effect being higher as compared to the action of individual ligands, metal chlorides, and control (DMSO), but lower than the action of the reference drug tetracycline.
