Synthesis, Spectroscopic and Antimicrobial of New Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) Schiff Base Complexes

Schiff bases are condensation products of primary amine and aliphatic or aromatic carbonyl compounds with the general formula (RCH=N-R), that makes the schiff base a stable imine. The linkage azomethine group contains a pair of π electrons bonded between carbon and nitrogen (CH=N-). In addition, the nitrogen atom present in the azomethine group has a lone pair of electron and this add distinct properties to this group. Schiff bases derived from aromatic amines and aromatic aldehydes have a wide variety of applications in many fields, eg., biological [1-4], Heterogenous catalyst [5], oxidation of alkanes [6], catalytic applications [7,8] and photo luminescent properties [9,10].
