New series of copper (II), cobalt (II), zinc (II), nickel (II), manganese (II), iron (II) complexes of a novel Schiff base were prepared by the condensation of sulphadizine and pyridoxal hydrochloride. The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by utilizing different instrumental procedures like microanalysis, thermogravimetric examination and spectroscopy. The integrated ligand and transition metal complexes were screened against various bacteria and fungus. The studies demonstrated the enhanced activity of metal complexes against reported microbes when compared with free ligand.

AbstractThis contribution is a documentation of recent advances in the chemistry of chalcogenide polynuclear transition metal complexes coordinated with mono- and di-phosphines functionalized with hydroxo groups. A survey of complexes containing tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine (THP) is presented. The influence of the alkyl chain in bidentate phosphines, bearing the P–(CH2)x–OH arms, is also analyzed. Finally, isolation and structure elucidation of the complexes with HP(OH)2, P(OH)3, As(OH)3, PhP(OH)2, stabilized by coordination to Ni(0) and Pd(0) centers embedded into chalcogenide clusters, is discussed.

The stepwise stability constants of VO(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), Ni (II), Co(II), Zn(II), Fe(III), and UO2(II) metal ions with 2-(2-acetylphenylhydrazone)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexane dione (2-APHDm), 3-(2-acetylphenylhydrazone)pentane-2,4-dione (2-APHA), 2-(2-acetylphenylhydrazone)-1-phenyl-1,3-butane dione (2-APHB), 2-(2-acetylphenylhydrazone)-1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propane dione (2-APHDB), and 3-(2-acetylphenylhydrazone)-1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dione (2-APHTA) were determined at 30 °C by pH titrations in 75% (v/v) dioxane–water solvent. In addition, metal complexes of three related β-diketones, 2-APHA, 2-APHB, and 2-APHDB have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, uv–visible, ir spectra, and conductance in DMF and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The structure of the complexes have been proposed. Keywords: transition metal complexes of hydrazone-β-diketone ligands.
