A novel anthraquinone-thiophene Schiff base was synthesized by condensing 2-aminoanthraquinone with 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde in ethanol under mild acidic conditions. The synthesized compound was characterized using FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FT-IR analysis confirmed the successful formation of the Schiff base with the expected functional group transformations. XRD results revealed that the compound exhibits a microcrystalline nature, while SEM images showed a rough and porous surface morphology with well-defined microcrystalline features. The antioxidant activity of the Schiff base was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging method, demonstrating notable free radical inhibition and indicating its potential biological importance. Overall, the structural and biological findings suggest that the synthesized Schiff base is a promising candidate for further applications in coordination chemistry, material science and medicinal chemistry
