A new Schiff base, {1-[(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-amino]-4-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2-dihyro-pyrimidin-5-yl}-phenyl-methanone, was synthesized from N-amino pyrimidine-2-thione and 5-bromsalicylaldehyde. Metal complexes of the Schiff base were prepared from acetate salts of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Pd(II), and PtCl2 in methanol. The chemical structures of the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis. All of the compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial against 4 gram-positive bacteria, I grain-negative bacterium, and 3 yeast strains. The Schiff base and the Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes showed good biological activity against all tested bacteria and yeast strains.
