Three new Schiff base complexes, namely [Mn(L)Cl] · H2O (1), [Co(L)Cl]2 · 2CH3COCH3 (2) and [Co(L)NCS]2 (3), where H2L = 2,2'-[propane-1,2-diylbis(nitriloeth-1-yl-1-ylidene)]diphenol, have been prepd. and characterized. The syntheses of 1 and 2 have been achieved by reacting equimolar amts. of the resp. metal chloride and the tetradentate Schiff base ligand (H2L). While the mononuclear Mn(III) complex 1 was obtained with MnCl2 in acetone medium, the same synthetic system yielded the binuclear Co(III) complex 2 in the presence of CoCl2. Dissoln. of 1 and 2 followed by crystn. with ammonium thiocyanate in methanol yielded two isostructural phenoxo-bridged binuclear complexes, namely [Mn(L)NCS]2 (previously reported by us) and a new complex [Co(L)NCS]2 (3), resp. All the complexes 1-3 have been characterized by microanal., spectroscopic, single crystal X-ray diffraction and other physicochem. studies. Structural studies reveal that 1 adopts a distorted tetragonal pyramidal geometry while 2 and 3 comprise dimeric Co(III) units with bridging phenolate oxygen atoms. All the complex units in 1-3 and the resp. solvent mols. are held together by weak intermol. H-bonding to constitute a supramol. network in the solid state. The antibacterial activity of the complexes has been tested against some Gram(+) and Gram(-) bacteria.
