Two new azo-containing Schiff bases and their transition metal complexes were synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray analyses were performed on the ligand (L1H) and complex (Zn(L1)2). The synthesized metal complexes were used as catalysts for the chemical fixation of CO2 into cyclic carbonates. The azo moiety increased the activity.

New series of copper (II), cobalt (II), zinc (II), nickel (II), manganese (II), iron (II) complexes of a novel Schiff base were prepared by the condensation of sulphadizine and pyridoxal hydrochloride. The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by utilizing different instrumental procedures like microanalysis, thermogravimetric examination and spectroscopy. The integrated ligand and transition metal complexes were screened against various bacteria and fungus. The studies demonstrated the enhanced activity of metal complexes against reported microbes when compared with free ligand.
