Synthesis And Characterization Of 2-(2-Hydroxybenzylideneamino) Acid Derivatives and It’s Ni(Ii), Cu(II) Complexes As Microbial Growth Inhibitors

Abstract

2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino) acid derivative i.e. ligands L₁-L₂ have been obtained by the reaction of amino acids A₁-A₂ with salicylaldehyde. The current article focused on the syntheses, characterization and antimicrobial studies of the Complexes (P₁-P₄),these complexes were synthesized and studied by their spectral data such as FTIR, Mass, UV-Vis., melting point and elemental analysis.From spectral analysis, the probable structure of the complexes was suggested[1][2].

Antibacterial activities of ligands L₁-L₂ and its metal complexes (P₁-P₄) have been tested by screening the compounds against various Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains.
