Abstract: Fe (III), Zn (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Mn (II) complexes of Schiff bases have been prepared and characterized by their physical, spectral and analytical data. The newly synthesized mixed ligands metal complexes having a composition [M (L1/L2) X2] where M=Fe (III), Zn (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Mn (II) L1/L2= bidentate ligand (derived from salicylaldehyde, o-vanilline with P-anisidine) X=H2O shows an octahedral geometry. In order to evaluate the biological activity of Schiff bases ligands and their metal complexes. The Schiff-base ligands and their new metal complexes have been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity (i. e Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus substilis, antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus substilis). The X-ray diffraction studies and monoclinic crystal structure has been proposed for the mixed ligands metal complexes.

Keywords: Mixed ligand metal complexes, biological activity, and X-ray diffraction study
