New series of Schiff bases derived from o ‐substituted thiosemicarbazides and 8‐formyl‐7‐hydroxy‐4‐methylcoumarin have been synthesized and their coordination tendency toward Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) metal ions is studied. Analytical, spectral ( IR , UV ‐Vis, ESR , and FAB ‐mass), magnetic, and thermal studies suggests octahedral geometry of the type ML 2 for all the Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes. The complexes are soluble in DMF / DMSO and are non‐electrolytes. The Schiff bases and their metal complexes have been screened for antibacterial ( Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella typhi , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) and antifungal activities ( Aspergillus flavus , Aspergillus niger , and Cladosporium ) by minimum inhibitory concentration method. DNA cleavage is studied by agarose gel electrophoresis method. Metal ( II ) complexes show good anthelmintic activity when compared to Schiff bases.
