Schiff base synthesized from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-2’ (ethylene dioxy) bis ethylenediamine (L1) and its Metal complexes, [M (II) (L)6](where M= Mn(II), Ru(III), Cu(II)and V(V) L= Schiff base moiety), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic measurements (infrared, electronic spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, EPR and Mass spectroscopy ). Elemental analysis of the metal complexes was suggested that the stoichiometry ratio is 1:1 (metal-ligand). The electronic spectra suggest an octahedral geometry for MC1and MC2 Schiff base complexes and distorted octahedral for MC3 and MC4 complexes. The Schiff base and its metal chelates have been screened for their invitro test antibacterial activity against three bacteria, gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Klebsiella pheneuammonia and Salmonella typhi). Two strains of fungus (Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans). The metal chelates were shown to possess more anti fungal activity compare then antibacterial activity and antioxidant properties. The complexes are highly active than the free Schiff-base ligand.

Non-covalent interactions play an essential role in the folding and self-assembly of large biological assemblies. These interactions are not only a driving force for the formation of large structures but also control conformation and com-plementary shapes of subcomponents that promote the diversity of structures and functions of the resulting assemblies. Understanding how non-covalent interactions direct self-assembly and the effect of conformation and complementary shapes on self-assembled structures will help design artificial supramolecular systems with extended components and functions. Herein, we develop a strategy for controlling more complex self-assembly with lower symmetry and flexible building blocks that combine endohedral non-covalent interactions with a dual curvature in the ligand backbone to give additional shape complementarity. A Diels-Alder reaction was used to break the symmetry of the diazaanthracene units of the ligands to give dual curvature ligands with different shapes and endohedral groups (L1-L3). The self-assembly studies of these ligands demonstrated that non-covalent interactions and shape complementary effectively control the self-assembly and enable the design of cages for supramolecular catalysis.
