Two Schiff base ligands Ampp-Sn1and Bmpp-Sn2, afforded by a condensation reaction between sulfanilamide and the respective acylpyrazolone carbonyl precursors, their Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes prepared by the reaction of ligands and corresponding metal salts in aqueous solutions, were synthesized and then characterized by both analytical and spectroscopic methods, in a view to developing new improved bioactive materials with novel properties. On the basis of elemental analysis, spectroscopic and TGA results, transition metal complexes, with octahedral geometry having two molecules of the bidentate keto-imine ligand each, have been proposed. The single crystal structure of Bmpp-Sn according to X-ray crystallography showed a keto-imine tautomer type of Schiff base, having three intramolecular bonds, one short N2⋯H2⋯O3 hydrogen bond of 1.90 Å and two long C13⋯H13⋯O2 and C32⋯H32⋯O3 hydrogen bonds of 2.48 Å. A moderate to low biological activities have been exhibited by synthesized compounds when compared with standard antimicrobial agents on screening the synthesized compounds againstStaphylococcus aureus,Bacillus pumilus,Proteus vulgaris, andAeromonas hydrophilafor antibacterial activity and against free radical 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) for antioxidant activity.

Transition metal complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II) have been synthesized with the Schiff base ligand 5-Sub-N-(2-mercaptophenyl)salicylideneimine. Elemental analysis of these complexes suggest that these metal ions forms complexes of type ML(H2O)stoichiometry for Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II). The ligand behaves as tridentate and forms coordinate bonds through O, S and N atoms. Magnetic susceptibility, IR, UV – Visible, Mass and ESR spectral studies suggest that Cu(II), Ni(II) complexes posses square planar geometry, whereas Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II) complexes posses tetrahedral geometry. The complexes were tested for their antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.The Schiff base metal complexes evaluated for their antifungal activity against the fungi A. niger and C. oxysporum. The DNA cleavage studies of Schiff base complexes werestudied using Calf – Thymus DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis method.
