A series of homo-binuclear Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) metal complexes of Schiff base which was derived from 2,6-diaminopyridine and glyoxal have been synthesized. The plausible geometry of Schiff base and its binucleating metal complexes were examined by means of elemental and thermal analysis, molar conductance, 1 HNMR, UV-Vis, IR, ESR and mass spectra. From the spectral studies, a six coordinate environment around the metal dimers was confirmed. Both of the Schiff base and its metal complexes were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against some bacterial and fungal strains. Schiff base and its metal complexes were also investigated for its cytotoxic effect against human breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines and it was observed that homo-binuclear Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes showed a good antitumor activity. The antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH method and the result showed that few metal complexes have been more potential activity. [7]. Recently, abundant research on macrocyclic complexes have been focused on species containing the first-row transition metal Schiff base [8]. Furthermore, pyridine based Schiff bases were a significant class of bioactive compounds in medicinal and pharmaceutical fields [9,10]. The above results encouraged making the present study that deals with the synthesis and characterization of heterocyclic homo-binuclear Schiff base complexes derived from 2,6-diaminopyridine and glyoxal containing a NO donor system with some divalent metal ions, namely Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) along with their better biological activity due to their potentially useful properties.
