The Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) Cu(II), Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes were prepared by reacting their salts with the derived Schiff base ligands from condensing vanillin and o-phenylenediamine with a ratio (1:1), (2:1) respectively. Ligands and their complexes were distinguished using analytical, physical and spectroscopic methods. The elemental analysis values show that stoichiometry to be 1:1 [M: L]. Molar conductivity measurements detect that the complexes are non-electrolytic. From the information obtained through electronic measurements, magnetic sensitivity. The square planar geometry around of Ni (II) and Cu (II), and tetrahedral geometry around of the other metals. The prepared complexes showed different activity towards inhibiting bacterial growth for E. coli k.pneomonia.
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.
