Abstract

Present investigation deals with synthesis and characterization of Mixed ligand complexes of transition metals such as Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) using Schiff base prepared by condensing salicylaldehyde with ethylenediamine and 8-hydroxyquinoline. The Synthesized complexes have been characterized using conductivity measurements, room temperature magnetic properties and spectral methods such as IR, UV and NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized complexes were also screened for their biological activities such as antibacterial and antifungal. The studies made are indicating towards octahedral geometry for these complexes
