Synthesis of Nanoparticles by using Schiff Base Cu (II) and Zn (II) Complexes as a Precursor and its Antibacterial Studies

Nisha George

Abstract: Metal Schiff base complexes have been widely investigated not only for their interesting structures and properties but also for their use as precursor for preparation of metal oxide nanoparticles. Considerable interest has been grown on the preparation and characterization of nanoparticles via thermal decomposition of complexes for their unique applications and properties. Among the metal oxides, transition metal oxides have attracted much attention due to its properties and applications. Schiff base ligands of different amines and aldehydes were prepared by condensation method. Nanoparticles were prepared using these ligands metal complexes as precursor. Structure of these nanoparticles have been examined by X-ray powder diffraction reveals the size of nanoparticles. Antibacterial potential of the prepared nanoparticles were carried out by using gram negative E. Coli bacteria and shows good antibacterialpotential.
