Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, electrochemical behaviour and antibacterial activity of Ru(III) complexes of 2-[(4-N,N′-dimethylaminophenylimino)-methyl]-4-halophenol
N'-dimethylaminophenylimino)-methyl]-4-X-phenol with [Ru(Cl)(3)(EPh(3))(3)]; (E=P or As); (X=Cl, Br or I) in the benzene afforded new stable rutheniumcomplexes of the general formula [Ru(Cl)(2)(EPh(3))(2)(L)] (L=anion of bidentate Schiff bases). The newly synthesized complexes were characterized using molar conductivity, spectral (UV-vis, FT-IR and EPR) and electrochemical studies. The molar conductance measurements
