Novel Schiff base ligand based on the condensation of 4,6‐diacetyl resorcinol with 2‐amino‐4‐methylthiazole in addition to its metal complexes with Cr (III), Mn (II), Fe (III), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II) and Cd (II) ions have been synthesized. The structure, electronic properties, and thermal behaviour of Schiff base and its metal complexes have been studied by elemental analysis, mass, 1H NMR, IR spectra, thermal analysis, and theoretically by density function theory. The ligand acted as mononegative bidentate (NO) ligand and all complexes showed octahedral geometry except Cu (II) showed tetrahedral geometry as indicated from the spectral and magnetic studies. The Cu (II), Zn (II) and Cd (II) complexes were non electrolytes while the rest of the complexes were electrolytes. The antibacterial plus anticancer activities of the parent Schiff base and its metal complexes were screened. In addition, the molecular docking study was performed to explore the possible ways for binding to Crystal Structure of Human Astrovirus capsid protein (5ibv) receptor.

New mixed ligand complexes of transition metals were synthesized from a Schiff base (L 1 ) obtained by the condensation reaction of oxamide and furfural as primary ligand and 2,2′-bipyridine (L 2 ) as secondary ligand. The ligands and their metal complexes were studied using various spectroscopic methods. Also thermal analyses were conducted. The mixed ligand complexes were found to have formulae [M(L 1 ) (L 2 )]Cl m ⋅nH 2 O (M = Cr(III) and Fe(III): m = 3, n = 0; M = Cu(II) and Cd(II): m = 2, n = 1; M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II): m = 2, n = 0). The resultant data revealed that the metal complexes have octahedral structure. Also, the mixed ligand complexes are electrolytic. The biological and anticancer activities of the new compounds were tested against breast cancer (MCF-7) and colon cancer (HCT-116) cell lines. The results showed high activity for the synthesized compounds. KEYWORDS 2,2′-bipyridine, anticancer activity, biological activity, mixed ligand complexes, Schiff base ligand
