Synthesis and Characterization of Vanillin Schiff Base Complexes with Paracetamol and Divalent Metal Ions: Antimicrobial Activity Study

الملخص

The work presented in this research deals with the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of Schiff base ligand (HL) created from vanillin with p-aminoazobenzene containing (N, O) as donor atoms. The synthesis ligand (HL) was characterized by the CHN, (FT-IR), (UV-Vis), (¹H,¹³C-NMR) and mass spectroscopy, in addition the melting point were used to characterize the Schiff base. A series of mixed metal ligands complexes were formed by using Schiff base ligand (HL) as primary ligand and Paracetamol (PAR) as a secondary ligand with five divalent metal ions; Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd(II) and Hg. The formed complexes were characterized by using some analytical and standard spectroscopic methods; molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, FT-IR, electronic and absorption atomic spectroscopy. Via the magnetic susceptibility and (UV-Vis) measurements supported by molar conductivity suggested an octahedral geometry for all the complexes. The antimicrobial activity of the formed complexes and ligands were tested against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and E.Coli, and antifungus Candidalbica.
