1-(3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanone (HDBA) and chalcones were prepared by the coupling of benzyle bromide and 3,5-dibromo resacetophenone then condensation with aromatic aldehyde(3a-j) then covert them to its metal complexes. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their characterization, their physical properties and their biological activity.
