Molbdenum(VI) complexes with a novel Schiff base ligand derived from condensation reaction of 2-hydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde and 4-aminobenzenethiol was synthesized by microwave and investigated and characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The ligands as well as the complex were screened separately for antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens). It was found that metal complex displayed much higher antibacterial activities and better inhibitory effects than that of the Ligand or the free metal ions.
