Schiff bases are a kind of biological active compounds bearing the-N=CH-functional groups，which can be prepared by the condensation reactions of carbonyl-containing compounds with primary amines. The compounds have been attracted considerable attention for their wide range of biological activities，such as antibacterial［1-2］，antifungal［3］，antitumor［4-5］，antiinflammatory［6-7］，and cytotoxic［8-9］.Aroylhydrazones bearing the-C（O）-NH-N=CH-functional groups are a kind of special Schiff bases，which possess interesting biological activities［10-13］.It was reported that Schiff bases bearing electron-withdrawing groups can improve their antimicrobial activities［14-15］.Rai and co-workers reported a series of fluoro，chloro，bromo，and iodosubstituted compounds，and found that they have significant antimicrobial activities［16-18］.As a continuation of work on the exploration of novel antimicrobial agents，in this paper，two new dinuclear copper(Ⅱ)and zinc(Ⅱ) complexes，Cu2（L1）2（1）and［Zn2（L2）2（CH3OH）2］（2），where L1and L2are the dianionic form of 2-bromo-N′-（2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene）benzohydrazide（H2L1）and 2-chloro-N′-（2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene）benzohydrazide（H2L2），respectively（Scheme 1），were prepared and their antimicrobial activities were investigated.

2　Results and discussion

2.1Synthesis and characterization

The aroylhydrazones H2L1and H2L2were readily prepared by the condensation reaction of 1∶1 molar ratio of 5-methylsalicylaldehyde with 2-bromobenzohydrazide and 2-chlorobenzohydrazide，respectively，in methanol.Complexes 1 and 2 were prepared by the reaction of the aroylhydrazones with copper nitrate and zinc nitrate，respectively，in methanol，followed by recrystallization.Elemental analyses of the compl exes are in accordance with the molecular structures proposed by the X-ray analysis.FT-IR spectra of both complexes are of similar type.The complexes show typical C=N absorptions at 1 623 cm-1for 1 and 1 621 cm-1for 2.Both complexes are stable in air at room temperature.The molar conductivity of the complexes measured in absolute methanol at concentration of 1 mmol·L-1are 18.0 Ω-1·cm2·mol-1for 1 and 22 Ω-1· cm2·mol-1for 2，indicating the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes in solution［22］.

2.2Structure description of complex 1

The molecular structure of complex 1 is shown in Fig.1.The asymmetric unit of the complex contains two independent molecules.The complex is a centro symmetric dinuclear copper(Ⅱ)species，withthe inversion center located at the midpoint of the two Cu atoms.The Cu…Cu distances are 0.300 9（2）and 0.302 3（2）nm.Each Cu atom of the complex is coor dinated by the phenolate oxygen，imino nitrogen and enolate oxygen of the aroylhydrazone ligand，and thephenolate oxygen of the symmetry related aroylhydrazone ligand，forming square planar geometry.The distortion of the square planar coordination can be observed from the bond distances and bond angles. The cis bond angles are from 81.2（2）°to 106.1（2）°for Cu1，and from 78.5（2）°to 107.4（2）°for Cu2，and the trans bond angles are 172.7（2）°and 174.9（2）°for Cu1，and 171.7（2）°and 173.4（2）°for Cu2.The Cu-O and Cu-N bonds in the complex are comparable to those observed in copper(Ⅱ) complexes with aroylhydrazone ligands［23-24］.The two benzene rings of the aroylhydrazone ligand form dihedral angle of 25.7（3）°.

2.3Structure description of complex 2

The molecular structure of complex 2 is shown in Fig.2.The complex is a centrosymmetric dinuclear zinc(Ⅱ) species，with the inversion center located at the midpoint of the two Zn atoms.The Zn…Zn distance is 0.315 0（2）nm.Each Zn atom of the complex is coordinated in a square pyramidal geometry，with the phenolate oxygen，imino nitrogen and enolate oxygen of the aroylhydrazone ligand，and the phenolate oxygen of the symmetry related aroylhydrazone ligand，defining the basal plane，and with the methanol oxygen occupying the apical position.The Zn atom deviates from the least-squares plane defined by the four basal donor atoms by 0.046 8（2）nm.The distortion of the square pyramidal coordination can be observed from the bond distances and bond angles.The cis bond angles in the basal plane are from 77.21（8）°to 108.15（9）°，and the trans bond angles are 145.34（9）° and 156.18（8）°.The angles among the apical and basal donor atoms are in the range of 97.17（9）°～105.31（9）°. The Zn-O and Zn-N bonds in the basal plane of the complex are comparable to those observed in zinc(Ⅱ)complexes with aroylhydrazone ligands［25-26］.The two benzene rings of the aroylhydrazone ligand form dihedral angle of 28.3（5）°.

Fig.3　Emission spectrum of complex 2

2.4Fluorescence character of complex 2

The fluorescence property of complex 2 was studied at room temperature（Fig.3）.The emission spectrum of the complex is from 420 to 500 nm，with λmax=465 nm（λex=266 nm）.For zinc(Ⅱ)complexes，noemission originating from metal-centered MLCT/LMCT excited states are expected，since zinc(Ⅱ)ion is difficult to oxidize or reduce due to its stable d10configuration.Thus，the emission observed in the complex is tentatively assigned to the π-π*intraligand fluorescence.

2.5Antimicrobial activity

The complexes and the free aroylhydrazones were screened for antibacterial activity against two Gram（+）bacterial strains（B.subtilis and S.aureus）and two Gram（-）bacterial strains（E.coli and P.aeruginosa）by MTT method.The IC50values of the compounds against four bacteria are listed in Table 3.Penicillin G was used as the standard drug.The aroylhydrazone H2L1showed medium activity against the bacteria B.subtilis，while no activity against the other bacteria. The aroylhydrazone H2L2showed medium activities against the bacteria B.subtilis，S.aureus，and E.coli，while no activity against P.aeruginosa.Thus，the Clsubstitute group is better than the Br-substitute group for the antibacterial activity of S.aureus and E.coli. The copper complex has strong activity against B. subtilis，medium activity against S.aureus，and no activity against the other bacteria.The zinc complex has medium activity againstB.subtilis，and n activity against the other bacteria.From the results，i is difficult to give a definite conclusion about which one is good for the antibacterial activities of the aroylhydrazoneandthecomplexes.Forexample complexes 1 and 2 have stronger activities against B subtilis than the aroylhydrazones.However，as for S aureus，complex 1 has stronger activity than H2L1，yet H2L2has stronger activity than complex 2.As for E coli，both H2L1and complexes 1 and 2 have n activity，while H2L2has effective activity.The particula interest is that complex 1 showed the most effective activity againstB.subtilis，which is even more effective than Penicillin G.

The antifungal activities of the complexes and the aroylhydrazones were also evaluated against two fungal strains（C.albicans and A.niger）by MTT method Ketoconazole was used as a reference drug.It is interesting that complex 1 has effective activity，with IC50value of 7.27 μg·mL-1.However，both the aroylhydrazone and the zinc complex have no activity against the fungal strains.

Abstract：A pair of structurally similar dinuclear copper(Ⅱ) and zinc(Ⅱ) complexes，Cu2（L1）2（1）and［Zn2（L2）2（CH3OH）2］（2），where L1and L2are the dianionic form of 2-bromo-N′-（2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene）benzohydrazide（H2L1）and 2-chloro-N′-（2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene）benzohydrazide（H2L2），respectively，have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis，infrared spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1，with unit cell parameters:a=0.914 11（6）nm，b=1.180 04（7）nm，c=1.359 36（9）nm，α=101.928（2）°，β=91.399（2）°，γ=107.873（2）°，V=1.359 3（2）nm3，Z=2，R1=0.054 0，wR2= 0.118 9，GOF=0.970.Complex 2 crystallizes as the monoclinic space group P21/c，with unit cell parameters:a= 1.216 97（9）nm，b=1.214 96（9）nm，c=1.212 83（9）nm，β=110.939（1）°，V=1.674 8（2）nm3，Z=2，R1=0.034 1，wR2= 0.068 9，GOF=1.024.X-ray analysis indicates that the complexes are centrosymmetric dinuclear species，with the Cu atoms in 1 in square planar coordination，and with the Zn atoms in 2 in square pyramidal coordination.The complexes were evaluated for their antibacterial（B.subtilis，S.aureus，E.coli and P.aeruginosa）and antifungal （C.albicans and A.niger）activities by MTT（3-（4，5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2，5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide）method.CCDC:1447054，1；1447056，2.
