        abstract = {The nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocyclic Schiff base ligand was synthesized from 5-methylfurfural and 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine. The prepared ligand has been used for complexation with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). The microanalysis of the complexes and ligand formed has been done in laboratory. From the microanalysis and conductivity measurement of ligand and complexes, it has been found that both are neutral. The mode of linkage from ligand atom to metal ion has assigned with FTIR spectroscopic study. The magnetic moment measurement and electronic spectroscopy of the complexes reveals that Cu(II) complex is square pyramidal and Zn(II) complex is tetrahedral in geometry. Other all complexes are distorted octahedral in geometry. The ligand and its metal complexes were examined for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Penicillin G was taken as the standard.},
