The present work microwave assisted green synthesis of novel Schiff base ligand derived from 2-hydrazino
benzothiazole and Isophthalaldehyde and its metal complexes of Mn(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ag(I).
The novel Schiff base ligand was identified by melting point and thin layer chromatography. Characterization was by elemental
analysis, Infrared spectra 1HNMR spectra and mass spectroscopy. The metal complexes were identified by melting point, thin
layer chromatography and their distinguishing colour metal complexes were characterized by Infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible
spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The antibacterial activities of the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were
tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aurous and Salmonella Typhi.
