ABSTRACT
The mixed-ligand complexes of transition metal ions like Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) with 3,5-dibromosalicylideneaniline (HSB) and 2,2′-bipyridylamine (Bipy-amine) or bis(benzylidene)ethylenediamine (Benen) as the secondary ligand were prepared and characterized using elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, electronic and infrared spectra. They were also tested for their antimicrobial activities against bacteria, yeast and fungi.
