SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF Zn, Co and Cu COMPLEXES

Summary: We have been synthesized hydrogenated Schiff base ligand with Co(II), Cu (II) and Zn(II) complexes. Ligand was synthesized hydrogenation of salicylidene-aniline. Ligand and three metal complexes structure have been proved by spectral analyses. The antimicrobial properties of synthesized compounds have been investigated. Synthesized compounds have shown high antifungal and antibacterial properties. Comparing Schiff bases metal complexes with hydrogenated Schiff base complex compounds hydrogenated complex compounds has shown higher antimicrobial properties, because when azomethines group double bond break down and hydrogen atom enter the structure of ligand it changes complex formation ability of ligand and also influence antimicrobial properties. Other positive side of of our ligand and complex compounds, they have shown antimicrobial properties even 0,25% concentration and they are durable 6 month.
