Abstract:
Schiff base complexes derived from 2, 5-dihydroxyacetophenone as ligand and some metal cations: Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ have been prepared and investigated. The structures of the synthesized complexes were characterized by different techniques such as elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The biological activity of the ligand and its complexes was studied using five microorganisms representing different microbial categories. The synthesized compounds showed good biological activity.
