This report describes the synthesis and exploration of novel Schiff base ligand in the form of a polymer (heptamer) which was prepared by reaction between 3,4-diacetyl-2,5-hexanedione and hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. On further reaction of Schiff base with transition metals ions (Co and Cu) leads to formation of its transition metal complexes. The structural identification of Schiff base ligand and its transition metal complexes were characterized by classical structural techniques like FT-IR, NMR and mass spectra. The free ligand and its transition metal complexes have been screened for in vitro biological activities against various strains of bacteria and fungi. The prepared Schiff base and its metal complexes were also screened for antiangiogenic activity. The results have shown the remarkable antimicrobial and antiangiogenic activities of the Schiff base and its metal complexes.
