The complexes of the type ML2[where M = Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II)] L = 1-phenyl-1-ene-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-prop-2-ene with 3- substituted-5-mercapto-4-amino-1,2,4-triazoles. Schiff base ligands have been prepared by reacting 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one and 3-phenyl/pyridyl-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles in an alcoholic medium. The complexes are non-electrolytes in DMF. The resulting complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, conductivity measurements and spectral studies. The Schiff base acts as a tridentate dibasic and coordinating through the deprotonated oxygen, thioenolic sulphur and azomethine nitrogen atoms. It is found that Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes exhibited octahedral geometry. The antimicrobial activities of ligands and its complexes were screened by cup plate method.

The synthesis and characterization of first row transition metal complexes of the 1, 4(2'-hydroxyphenyl-1-yl) di-imino azine {1,4(2'HPDA)} are reported. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic studies, IR, 1H NMR and UV-visible studies. They have the stoichiometry of the type [M{1,4(2'HPDA)}22H2O ] and [M'L2] where M= Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), and M' = ZrO(II), VO(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II). The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the metal complexes has been investigated. Both ligand and complexes have shown good antibacterial and antifungal activity.

1-Phenyl-4-(2'-hydroxyphenyl-1-yl)di-imino azine, {1P-4-(2' HPDA)} 1, 4(2'-hydroxyphenyl-1-yl)di-imino azine, {1, 4-(2' HPDA)} are derived from benzophenone hydrozone with different aldehydes in presence of few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid in alcoholic medium. Metal(II) complexes have been prepared by salts of CoCl2, CuCl2, NiCl2and CdCl2reacting with azine ligands dissolved in alcohol in the molar ratio of (1:2). The prepared complexes were characterized by using various physical methodsviz. elemental, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, IR, NMR, XRD and UV-Visible. Conductivity of the powder samples were measured by two probe method. Measured electrical conductivities of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) complexes of azines are reported in this paper. It is found that at room temperature these complexes show insulator behavior. At higher temperature conductivity increases linearly, showing semi conducting behavior.

Coordination complexes of Cu(II),Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III)with Schiff bases derived from 3-(4-chlorophenoxymethyl)-4-amino-5-mercapto-1, 2, 4-triazole and substituted aldehydes have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility data, electronic, IR, ESR and1H NMR spectral data. On the basis spectroscopic studies, the Schiff base is monobasic bidentate ligand having the composition ML2(2H2O) Where M = Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) ,Mn(II), ML2(H2O)Cl Where M = Fe(III). Various physicochemical data suggest a six coordinated octahedral geometry for Cu(II),Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The antibacterial activities of ligand and its complexes were screened by cup plate method.
