Two Cu(II) complexes of an ionic liquid based Schiff base 1-{2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino) ethyl}-3-methylimidazolium hexaflurophosphate, were prepared and characterized by different analytical and spectroscopic methods such as elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis, IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. The Schiff base ligand was found to act as a potential bidentate chelating ligand with N, O donor sites and formed 1:2 metal chelates with Cu(II) salts. The synthesized Cu(II) complexes were tested for biological activity.
