Abstract

The Schiff base (BAP), benzilideneaminophenol  was synthesized by refluxing ethanolic solutions  of benzaldehyde and 2-aminophenol. Cu (II) and  Co (II) complexes of the Schiff base with  stoichiometry [M(BAP)2(H2O)2] have also been  synthesized. The IR studies indicate that the  Schiff base is acting as a bidentate ligand, and is  co-ordinated to the metal through azomethine  nitrogen and phenolic oxygen atom. IR spectra  also indicate the presence of co-ordinated water.  Octahedral geometry of these complexes could be  confirmed from the electronic and NMR spectral  data and magnetic moment values. The Schiff  base acts as a promising candidate as an  antimicrobial agent for E. coli and A. Niger.
