Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, DFT optimization and biological activities of Schiff bases and their metal (II) complexes

Two Schiff bases and their Zinc (II) and cobalt (II) complexes were synthesized and confirmed. Their DFT optimizations, pH dependent photometry and biological activities were evaluated in detail. Some of the compounds being good antidiabetic, antibacterial and cytotoxic agents were found astonishing candidate for drug development.241
