For the antimicrobial activity experiments, the microorganisms B. megaterium, K. pneumoniae, E. coli, P. aeruginasa, S. aureus, B. subtilis and E. aerogenes have been used. Nickel and copper complex compounds of ligand L-2 were recorded as the most effective coordination compounds as antimicrobial. Catalytic activity results revealed that the both manganese and nickel complexes were moderately more effective for the oxidation reactions of cyclohexene and styrene.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSchiff baseComplexThermalCatalysisAntimicrobialSynthesis and characterization of some Schiff bases, their metal complexes and thermal, antimicrobial and catalytic featuresArticle121290991710.1007/s10973-015-4617-x2-s2.0-84937514870N/AWOS:000357676500043Q2
