In the present study, new Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized from the reaction of tetradentate Schiff's base ligand (H2L)= (N, N'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl) bis (2-(((Z)-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl) methylene) amino) benzamide that was synthesized via condensation of 2-amino-N-{2-[(2-amino-benzoylamino) pyridine]-benzamide} with 2-hydroxy-1naphthaldehyde. The ligand and its metal (II) complexes were characterized by microanalyses, magnetic, spectral, powder Xray diffraction (XRD) and thermal studies. An octahedral geometry has been proposed for [Co(L)(H2O)2].3H2O (1), [Ni(L)(H2O)2].1½H2O (2) and square planar for [Cu(L)](3) and [Cu(H2L)(OH)Br](4). EPR spectra of Cu(II) complexes are consistent with dx²-y² ground state. 3D molecular modeling studies have been carried out for ligand and complex (1). Average crystallite size (D) and dislocation density (δ) were calculated from XRD. All compounds were screened for their in vitro antioxidant activity. The results showed that the ligand possesses excellent activity compared to the reference (Ascorbic acid) and complex (4) was the most potent one. Moreover, the current compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity.

Novel metal complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) have been  prepared from reaction of their different salts with previously prepared ligand (L) namely (N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide). Synthesis ligand and its metal (II) complexes (1-5) were reported and characterized with the help of analytical and physiochemical analysis as elemental, IR spectra, thermal (TG/DTG), UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility and molar conductance in DMF, On the view of the previous data and measurements, the structure and composition species behave as mononuclear and octahedral geometry has been proposed for all the complexes except for complex (1) adopted tetrahedral structure. Furthermore, the in vitro antibacterial Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) as Gram-positive strain, Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) as Gram-negative strain and antifungal Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) have been studied for all samples using disc diffusion method against Ampicillin and Fluconazole as positive controls, respectively. The results show that complexation facilitates the activity of most studied metal complexes than the free ligand.
