Abstract
A series Schiff base macrocyclic complexes of the type [HLMX2] where M = Cu(II),
Ni(II), Co(II) and X = Cl, OAc have been synthesized by condensation of 5-methylindoline-
2,3-dione and 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine in the presence of divalent metal salt in
methanolic medium. The complexes have been characterized with the help of elemental
analysis, conductance measurements, magnetic measurements and their structural
configuration have been determined by various spectroscopic (electronic, IR, 1H NMR, 13C
NMR, GCMS) techniques. Electronic and magnetic moments of the complexes indicate that
the geometries of the metal centers are octahedral. These metal complexes were also tested
for their antimicrobial activities to assess their inhibiting potential.
