TLDR
The complexed Schiff bases have shown to be more antibacterial against one more bacterial species as compared to uncomplexed Schiff-bases.
Abstract
Some novel transition metal [Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)] complexes of substituted pyridine Schiff-bases have been prepared and characterized by physical, spectral and analytical data. The synthesized Schiff-bases act as deprotonated tridentate for the complexation reaction with Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions. The new compounds, possessing the general formula [M(L)(2)] where [M=Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) and HL=HL(1), HL(2), HL(3) and HL(4)] show an octahedral geometry. In order to evaluate the effect of metal ions upon chelation, the Schiff bases and their complexes have been screened for antibacterial activity against the strains such as Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The complexed Schiff bases have shown to be more antibacterial against one more bacterial species as compared to uncomplexed Schiff-bases.

Synthesis, structural characterization, fluorescence, antimicrobial, antioxidant and DNA cleavage studies of Cu(II) complexes of formyl chromone Schiff bases.

TL;DR: Antimicrobial, antioxidant and DNA cleavage activities indicate that metal complexes exhibited greater activity as compared with ligands, and distorted octahedral geometry is proposed for all the Cu(II) complexes.

Spectroscopic methods in organic chemistry

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a structure elucidation by joint application of UV and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMRS) for visible and visible spectra, respectively, in the presence of UV.
