The research on 16 novel Schiff base ligand lanthanide (III) nitrate complexes is discussed. By condensing 2-amino-4-(4-bromophenyl) thiazole with ortho hydroxy aldehyde and 3 distinct substituted ortho hydroxy aldehydes, Schiff bases were produced. To create novel complexes, lanthanide (III) nitrates such as lanthanum (III), cerium (III), neodymium (III), and samarium (III) nitrate were chosen. Physicochemical experiments, such as elemental analysis, spectral analysis in the IR and UV-Vis, and fluorescence studies, were used to characterise the complexes. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal experiments also included the screening of the lanthanide (III) nitrate complexes.
