Biologically active schiff base ligand, N’-2-[(Z)-1-(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyranyl)ethylidene]-furancarbohydrazide and its M(III) complexes have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurement, UV-Vis, IR and NMR spectra. Based on these studies an octahedral geometry has been proposed for these complexes. The ligand and its metal complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities. The ligand showed higher activity than its corresponding M (III) complexes.
