A new complexes of the type ML2 and M′L [where M=Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) and M′= Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)]. L = 3-[(2-hydroxy-quinolin-3-ylmethylene)-amino]-2-phenyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one, (HQMAPQ) Schiff base have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, IR,1H NMR, UV-Visible and ESR data. The studies indicate the HQMAPQ acts as doubly monodentate bridge for metal(II) ions and form mononuclear complexes. The complexes Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes are found to be octahedral, where as Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes are four coordinated with tetrahedral geometry. The synthesized ligand and its metal(II) complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activity.
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.
