The Schiff base ligand N-Salicylidene-2-phenylethylamine (SPEA) and its Dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex, MoO2L2 , were synthesized by microwave and investigated and characterized by different physicochemical techniques. The infrared spectral data of the mixed Schiff base complexes exhibited chelating behavior between the metal ion and the ligand through the active groups presented in the SPEA such as nitrogen atom of the azomethine and deprotonated oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group. The ligands as well as the complex were assayed for antibacterial activity against some pathogenic bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (gram positive), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram negative), using paper disc method and placing the ligands on surface at nutrient agar. The results show that the MoO2L2 has higher activities in both lower and higher concentrations against both kind of bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively as compared to Ligand (SPEA).
