A Schiff base ligand (L) was synthesized via condensation of N-(
1-naphthyl)
ethylenediamine dihydrochloride with phthalaldehyde.
The ligand was characterized by FT-IR,
UV–Vis, 1H NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis (C, H, N). Five
metal complexes (Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II)) were prepared with the ligand in a 1:1 (M:L) ratio using an aqueous
ethanol solution. The complexes were characterized by FT-IR,
UV–Vis, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis (C, H, N).
Additionally, 1H NMR spectroscopy was employed for Cd(II) complex. Antimicrobial activity of the ligand and its metal complexes
against pathogenic bacteria (K. pneumoniae, E. coli, S. aureus, and S. epidermidis) and fungus (C. albicans) were evaluated
