Abstract
Abstract The present contribution accounts for the synthesis and structural elucidation of a newly synthesised copper and zinc containing schiff base compounds obtained by the condensation of 1, 2-diphenylethane-1, 2-dione and dinitrophenyl hydrazine as main ligand and benzene-1,2-diamine as co-ligand respectively. The synthesised compounds were characterized by several techniques, including elemental analysis, molar conductance and electronic, FT-IR, XRD, mass and 1 H NMR spectral studies. The analytical and molar conductance values indicated that the complexes have square planar and tetrahedral geometry respectively. X-ray powder diffraction illustrates that they are crystalline in nature. The copper and zinc complexes were screened for their antimicrobial potential against some bacterial and fungi strains and the assay indicate that these complexes are good antimicrobial agents against these tested pathogens.
