Novel Schiff base [N′,N′″-(((ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy))bis(2,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))di(benzohydrazide)] was formed by the condensation reaction of benzohydrazide with 2,2′-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy))dibenzaldehyde. Its reaction with various metal ions was studied and the structures of the new products were characterized using common analytical and spectroscopic methods. All the metal complexes have pronounced anticancer activities. The antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria were investigated.
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.
