Abstract

Complexes of tetradentate macrocyclic Schiff base ligand, L, with Mn^II and Pd^II ions have been synthesized by the template condensation of 1,10-phenanthroline-2, 9-dicarboxaldehyde, 2,3-diamino-1,4-naphthoquinone and 1,2-dibromoethane in EtOH. The complexes were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods and an octahedral geometry is suggested for their structure. They have been screened for antibacterial activity against several bacteria, and the results are compared with the activity of penicillin.
