EW copper (II), nickel (II) Schiff base complexes derived from ………3,3-dimethoxybenzidine and selected aldehydes, namely 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with the metal salts have been synthesized using a simple technique of microwave method (Green chemistry). The physical properties of prepared ligand and its metal complexes were recorded. The ligand and complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, NM R, infrared and also their geometrical structure were investigated using spectral UV-Vis reflectance, magnetic susceptibility, electron spin resonance (ESR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scan electron microscope (SEM ). The performance tests (oil absorption, fineness of grind, moisture content, and pH and bleeding test in different solvents) of the solid metal complexes were explored to ensure that the complexes can be used as a pigments in the field of anticorrosive paints without any compatibility problems in the paint's vehicle. The anticorrosive paints were formulated based on the prepared metal complexes as a pigments and the Physical, mechanical, colour properties and corrosion resistance of dry paint films were also examined. The obtained results revealed that the prepared metal complex pigments showed excellent mechanical, corrosion resistance with colour stability and did not effect or react with the other components in the anticorrosive paint formula.
