Abstract
Ni(II) metal complex of Schiff base (SB) ligand 2-methoxy-4-[(4-nitrophenyl) iminomethyl]phenol (MNIMP); derived from vanillin and 4-nitroanilline was synthesized in 1:2 M:L by refluxing solution containing metal salt (NiCl2.6H2O, 97.0%) and SB in ethanol and characterized based on powder (XRD), NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and physicochemical measurements. The FT-IR spectra revealed that the complex is coordinated through azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen of the bi-dentate ligands. The chemical shift δ = 9.8 ppm in 1H-NMR of SB; corresponds to the azomethine proton of the ligand suggesting the presence of -C=N- linkage and 13C-NMR confirms the presence of 14C in the ligand and the complex. The shift to a lower wavelength of UV-Vis spectra of the complex compared to the ligand signifying complex formation. The powder (XRD) pattern put forward the crystalline phase of the complex through nickel(II) occupying the center of octahedron geometry. The higher molar conductance value of the complex confirms its electrolytic nature. In-vitro antibacterial activities for synthesized compounds have been evaluated towards human pathogenic microbes Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and compared with standard, gentamicin. The result demonstrated that Ni(II) complex; [Ni (MNIMP)2(H2O)2]Cl2 has greater zone of inhibition against the tested organism than free MNIMP ligand as antibacterial agent.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
