Three metal complexes of Manganese (II), Iron (II) and Cobalt (II) with Schiff base
derived from Ethylenediamine and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde were synthesized. The metal
complexes were analysed using infrared spectrometry, Mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.
The C=N bond was found to be intact, with absorption band at 1626,1628 and 1624 cm-1 for Mn (II),
Co (II) and Fe (II) respectively. The complexes were found to be stable (decomposition temperature
~3160C). Metal complexes synthesised demonstrated moderate anti microbial against Escherichia
coli and Aspergillus nigger.
