Abstract
Acylhydrazine derived furanyl and thienyl Schiff bases and their Cu(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized on the basis of their physical, spectral and analytical data. The preferred enolic form of the Schiff base function as a tetradentate ligand during coordination to the metal ion yielding a square planar complex. The Schiff bases and their complexes with different anions were tested for their antibacterial activity against bacterial species such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa andKlebsiella pneumonae.
