Abstract

A noble Schiff base ligand bis (indoline-2-one) diethylenetriamine was prepared from the condensation of diethylenetriamine and isatin. Complexes of the Schiff base with Cd(II) Ni(II) Co(II) and Zr(IV) metals sources have been synthesized and characterized using FTIR, UV-visible spectra and magnetic moments measurements. Antimicrobial activity of the prepared complexes was measured as resistance to antimicrobial agents is emerging in a wide variety of nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens. Cadmium complex is proven to have a higher antibacterial activity than the other metal complexes.
