Abstract
Two new Schiff base ligands containing 2,4–disubstituted thiazoles and cyclobutane rings, 4-(1-methyl-1-phenylcyclobutane-3-yl)-2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidenehydrazino)thiazole (L1H), 4-(1-methyl-1-p-xylylcyclobutane-3-yl)-2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidenehydrazino)thiazole (L2H) and their mononuclear complexes with a 1:2 metal–ligand ratio have been prepared from acetate salts of CoII, CuII, NiII and ZnII in EtOH. The authenticity of the ligands and their complexes have been established by microanalyses, i.r., 13C- and 1H-n.m.r. spectra, and by magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The complexes are mononuclear. Thermal properties of the ligands and complexes have been studied by t.g.a. and d.s.c. techniques. Antimicrobial activities of the ligands and their complexes have been tested against six different microorganisms; three are yeast and three are bacteria. One of the ligands and many of the complexes were found to be active against some of the microorganisms studied.
