Synthesis and characterization of Schiff base complexes of Zr(IV) and Th(IV) complexes of Schiff base derived from furan 3- carboxaldehyde and 3- amino pyridine

The Schiff base complexes Zr(IV) and Th(IV) of furan 3- carboxaldehyde and 3- amino pyridine were
synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, infrared spectral
measurements, XRD and antibacterial studies. The conductance measurements indicate that all the
complexes are non-electrolytes. The results indicate that the metal complexes of Zr(IV) and Th(IV) are
octacoordinated and have moderate antibacterial activity
