Synthesis and characterization of Schiff base with solid metal complexes derived from Vanillin and 2-amino-2ethyl-1, 3-propanediol (VAEPD) has been carried out. Structural elucidation of the Schiff base and its metal complexes [Cu(II) and Co(II)] were analyzed on the basis of various spectra like IR, electronic absorption spectra, NMR, ESR, TG-DTA and magnetic moments. From the spectral study, monomeric structures of the complexes showed a six-cordinated metal center moiety with an octahedral geometry. In addition the metal complexes were screened for antibacterial activities and the metal complexes showed moderate activity against the organisms Escherichia coli (E.C), Bacillus subtilis (B.S) and Enterobacter aerogenes.
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.
