Synthesis, X-ray characterization and antimicrobial activity of iron(II) and cobalt(III) complexes with the schiff base derived from pyridoxal and semicarbazide or S-methylisothiosemicarbazide

Abstract

The synthesis, structural analysis and antibacterial reactivity of two octahedral complexes, namely [Fe(PLSC)2](NO3) 2.H2O, 1 (PLSC is pyridoxal semicarbazone), and [Co(PLITSC-2H)(PLITSC-H)].CH3OH, 2 (PLITSC is pyridoxal S-methylisothio-semicarbazone) are reported.
