Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of various Schiff base have been reported to exhibit an array of geometry ranging from octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar. Their geometries are determined through spectroscopic techniques and magnetic measurements . Metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic hydrazide and various aldehydes or ketones have been reported. They have been established as possessing antimicrobial and corrosion inhibition properties . However, the synthesis of a Schiff base obtained from the condensation reaction of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic hydrazide with dehydroacetic acid has not been reported.
