Synthesis And Antibacterial Activities Of Bimetallic Complexes Of Cobalt (II) AND NICKEL (II) ACETOPHENOLATE

Abstract

Bimetallic complexes of cobalt (II) and nickel (II) acetophenone with tin chloride were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurement, magnetic and spectral data. The complexes are 1:2 adducts and non-electrolytes in solution. The ligands and their complexes were screened for antibacterial activities against Staphyloccus aureus and Escherichia coli. Cobalt (II) bimetallic complexes were found active against the tested microorganisms.
