Abstract

A series of VOII, NiII, CuII, CoII, MnII, CdII and ZnII complexes of new Schiff base ligand resulting form 4-aminoantipyrine and Furobenzopyrone were prepared. The structure of newly synthesized compounds (1-8) was proven by studying their elemental analyses, spectral data (IR, NMR, UV-vis), molar conductivity and magnetic susceptibility. In addition the in vitro antimicrobial activi-ty of all compounds was examined. The results cleared that nickel and zinc complexes exhibited promising activity compared with standard drug (chloramphenicol).
