        abstract = {A mixed ligand complex was synthesized using the Schiff base ligand p-Methoxy Isonitrosoacetophenone (p-MINAP), prepared by the reaction of p-Methoxyacetophenone with n-amyl nitrite, as the primary ligand, and 1,10-Phenanthroline (1,10-Phen) as the secondary ligand. The Schiff base ligand and the resulting mixed ligand complex were characterized through elemental analysis, IR, UV-Visible spectroscopy, ¹H NMR, molar conductance, and magnetic moment studies.
The mixed ligand complex was found to have the general formula [M(p-MINAP)(1,10-Phen)], with an octahedral geometry around the metal center. The synthesized Schiff base (p-MINAP), the 1,10-Phenanthroline ligand, and their mixed ligand complex were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi. The results revealed significant antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds.},
