Synthesis, Characterization of Shiff Base Cu Salpn Complexes and Biological Pontential Study

Shiff bases are versatile ligands synthesized from the condensation of an amino compound with carbonyl compounds(1). The biological activity of the transition metal complexes derived from the Schiff base ligands has been widely studied. Salpn is the common name for a chelating ligand, properly called N,N'-bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,2- propanediamine. The complexes of copper with Schiff bases have wide applications in food industry, dye industry, analytical chemistry, catalysis, fungicidal, agrochemical, anti-inflammable activity, antiradical activities and biological activities.A new Cu salpncomplex has been synthesized from the rection of Salpn(N,N'-bis(Salicylaldehyde)1,3- propanediamine) with Copper Sulphate pentahydrate(Cuso4.5H2O).The synthesized complex was characterized by IR and UV spectral techniques. Antimicrobial activity of this complex have been tested against to the Antinomycesisraelii bacteria,Coreynebacterium diphtheria bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by using Agar well diffusion method(2).
