262PREPARATION, PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL EVALUATION OF Co(II), Ni(II) AND Fe(III) COMPLEXES OF HETEROCYCLICSCHIFF BASESMetal complexes of Co (II), Ni (II) and Fe (III) derived from Schiff bases of 2-Amino, 4,7-dimethyl benzothiazole and different heterocyclic aldehydes have been synthesized. The synthesized complexes have been characterized by spectral analysis viz IR, 1H NMR, Electronic, XRD, Molar Conductance and their Magnetic moment. The spectral studies indicate Octahedral geometry for all metal complexs under study. From XRD study, monoclinic, ‘p’ type crystal structure can be assigned to the synthesized complexes. The complexes were also screened for antifungal and antibacterial activities. The antimicrobial screening shows that the metal complexes show the enhanced activity than their corresponding ligandsseemahabib12@gmail.comResearch462013 Schiff bases,Metal complexes,Spectral analysis,Antimicrobial activityDeshpande MM,Seema I Habib,Kulkarni PAP.G.
