Kinetic study of acid hydrolysis of some hydrophilic Fe(II) Schiff base amino acid complexes with antibacterial properties was performed using spectrophotometry. The Schiff base ligands were derived from sodium 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-5-sulfonate and glycine, L-alanine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, DL-methionine 
DL-serine, or L-phenylalanine. The reaction was studied in aqueous media under conditions of pseudo-first order kinetics. Moreover, the acid hydrolysis was studied at different temperatures and the activation
parameters were calculated. The general rate equation was suggested as follows: rate = kobs [Complex],
where kobs = k2 [H+]. The evaluated rate constants and activation parameters are consistent with the hydrophilicity of the investigated complexes.
