This research work involves the preparation of some biologically active metal complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) Chlorides with the Schiff base ligand derived from salicyladehyde and 4-amino-124-triazole. The prepared ligand and its metal complexes were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activity. The antimicrobial studies were carried out using disc diffusion method. The inhibitory zone values (in mm) of the compounds against the growth of microorganisms are observed for both the ligand and its metal complexes. The activity results show that the metal complexes are more potent than the parent ligand.
