Transition metal complexes of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal ions with general stoichiometry [ML2.2H2O] and [ML3], where M= Mn(II), Cr(III), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), L= Schiff base derived from the condensation of 2-amino-4(4’-phenyl/methylphenyl)-5-methyl-thiazole with 4-acetyl-1(3-chloro phenyl)-3-methyl-2-pyrazoline-5-ones, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral techniques like IR, UV,1H NMR,13C NMR and Mass Spectra. All the complexes were found to be octahedral geometry. The ligand and its complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities against three fungi,i.e. Alternaria brassicae, Aspergillus nigerandFesarium oxysporumand two bacteria,i.e. Xanthomonas compestrisandPseudomonas aeruginosa.

4-Acyl-1-phenyl-3-methyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones condensed with 2-amino-4(4'-methylphenyl)-thiazole to form Schiff base. These Schiff bases from complexes of type ML22H2O (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu). Elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductance, electronic and Infrared spectral data suggested octahedral structure for the complexes. All the compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity. The result indicates that the growth of the tested organism was inhibited by most of the compounds. These Schiff bases are characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectra,1H-NMR spectra,13C NMR spectra and FT IR spectra.

Novel Schiff bases and their metal complexes were derived from some hetero cyclicβ-diketones with 4-phenyl-2-aminothiazole. All the synthesized compounds were confirmed their structure by Elemental analysis, FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, Mass spectra, TGA analysis and UV spectra. All the compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity. Spectroscopic measurements suggest that all Schiff base metal complexes are of type ML2.(H2O)2(M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) and all the metal complexes shows moderate antibacterial activity in the agar cup assay method.
