Abstract
Schiff base compounds with the azomethine group(-RCـــN-) are usually formed by the condensation of amine ــNH2 group with active ــC=O carbonyl group . The field of schiff bases is fast developing because of the wide variety and potential applications of their industerial,biological, analytical,medical,pharmacutical and catalyticxal applications.Complexes of schiff bases with some transition metals show significant biological notification including antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activities. In recent years a number of research articles have been published on transition metal complexes of Cu(II),Co(II),Ni(II),Fe(II), and Zn(II) with schiff bases derived from the condensation of salicyladehde and o-amino phenol or 2-amino benzoic acid. Azo compounds have been studied widely because of their excellent thermal,antibacterial activity and optical properities in applications such as optical recording medium,toner,ink-jet printing and oil-soluble lightfast dyes.Based on the previous considerations, in this thesis we will study the synthesis and physico-chemical studies of 2-[(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-benzoic acid schiff base and its metal complexes.
