Abstract: The complexation of metals with ligands can drastically change the physicochemical and biological
properties of the metal species. The large number of ionizable sites in the ligand molecule, mainly phenolic and
carboxylic groups, provide the appreciable ability to form stable complexes and chelates with heavy metal
cations (Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)). In this paper We would like to review the transition metal complexes
of salicylic acid.
Keywords: Metal complex, microbicidal activity, salicylic acid (SA),

III. Conclusion
This review mainly focus on complexes of salicylic acid with different metals, their spectroscopical
studies and biological importance. The salicylic acid is versatile in forming chelates, can act as catalyst. These
active metal complexes may serve as a starting point for further studies on metal complexes acting as drugs.
