Abstract
Abstract Copper (II), zinc(II), cobalt (II) and nickel (II) complexes with the Schiff base derived from 2—chlorobenzaldehyde and glycine were synthesized. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, infra—red and electronic spectra. The Schiff base ligand has been further characterized by 1H NMR. The results suggest that the Schiff base acts as a bidentate ligand which bonds to metal ions through the imino nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen. The Schiff base is a 1:1 electrolyte but all the complexes are non—electrolytes. The results of preliminary tests of antifungal activity of all the compounds show that the complexes strongly inhibit the fungi gypseum, floccosum, canis and rubrum. Referee I: K.
