Synthesis, designing, characterization and anti-microbial studies of N, N'- Bis (2 hydroxyacetophenone) Ethylenediamine metal (II) complexes

Tetra dentate Schiff base N, N’-bis [2-hydroxyacetophenone] ethylendiamine (OAcPh-en) were formed by the 2:1 molar condensation of 2-hydroxyacetophenone with ethylenediamine. Their Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) diaquo complexes (I) were synthesized. The neutral bidentate ligand derived from benzaldehyde and ethylenediamine or o-phenylenediamine in 1:1 molar ratio in alcoholic solution yield bis[benzylidene] ethylenediamine (Ben-en) or bis [benzylidene] o-phenylinediamine (Ben-opd) (II). Further reaction between (I) and (II) in alcohol yielded mixed ligand complexes. The characterization of these newly synthesized mixed-ligand complexes were done by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, infrared spectra and uv-visible spectra, thermo gravimetric analysis, anti-microbial studies have also been under taken
