Monobasic (ON) bidentate Schiff base ligand has been prepared by condensing o-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 3-aminopyridine. The new organyltellurium(IV) complexes, having formula [TeCl 3 (3-APY-{Sal})], [RTeCl 2 (3-APY-{Sal})] and [R 2 TeCl(3-APY-{Sal})] have been synthesized by reacting equimolar ratio of Schiff base (3-APY-{SalH}) with TeCl 4 , RTeCl 3 and R 2 TeCl 2 : where R=4-methoxyphenyl, 4-hydroxyphenyl, 3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl. The characterization of Schiff base and its complexes were carried out by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, FTIR and 1 H NMR spectral studies. Also, the biological activities (antifungal and antibacterial) of the Schiff base ligand and some of its tellurium(IV) complexes have been studied.
