Abstract

Schiff base ligands are chemical compounds having diverse biological activities like industrial, agriculture and pharmaceutical. The current work discusses the evaluation of the biological properties of different synthesized mononuclear Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. The complexes were synthesized using a condensation reaction which demonstrated the appearance of White, Cream, Black and Green. Biological activities for synthesized metal complexes were assessed against S. aureus, B. cereus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa and by comparing the zones of inhibition it can be depicted that metal complexes are fairly more effective inhibitors of gram-positive bacteria. Furthermore the antioxidant potential of these complexes was also evaluated and it concluded that copper complexes showed promising antioxidant activity which is higher in association with Ni(II), Fe(II), and Co(II). Hence, these metal complexes were biologically active and further studies are required.
