Abstract :
New complexes of chloro-salicylidene aniline with Co(II) and Cu(II) were synthesised and screened for antibacterial activity against several bacterial strains, namely Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The metal complexes showed enhanced antibacterial activity compared to uncomplexed ligands.
