Synthesis of copper and silver complexes were prepared from novel Schiff base ligand. These synthesized ligand and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV-Vis and Mass spectrometry. The coordination of amino nitrogen, phenolic oxygen, and carboxylato oxygen atoms is shown by the infrared spectra.The Schiff bases and its complexes were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal studies against the bacteria Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PA, Gram -ve), Bacillus Cirroflagellosus (BC, Gram +ve), Penicillium Notatium (PN) and Aspergillus Niger (AN) strains. The results of the antibacterial investigation show that the copper and silver complexes possess more potent bactericide and fungicide properties than the ligand.
