Two series of Cu(II) and Mn(II) of complexes were prepared by refluxing ethanolic solution of their salts with Schiff base obtained from benzaldehyde and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine into 1:2 ratio. The prepared compounds were characterized by solubility, molar conductance and infrared analysis. The complexes show low molar conductance values suggesting nonelectrolytic nature. The Schiff ligand and its metal (II) complexes were found to be active against four isolates of bacteria (Salmonella bongori, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Shingella dysenteriae).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
