Abstract

Schiff base transition metal complexes were synthesized from ohydroxy acetophenone, o-phenylenediamine and salicylaldehyde with various transition metal salts in ethanol by template method. The synthesized complexes were characterized by UV-Visible, Infra-red, Electron spin resonance spectroscopy and Molar Conductivity studies. The synthesized complexes have been screened for in-vitro antimicrobial studies. The synthesized complexes have also been subjected to corrosion inhibition activity.

Keywords: Schiff base transition metal complexes, UV-Vis, IR, ESR, antimicrobial studies.
