Abstract:
The reaction of [(ceftriaxone) and (4-nitro aniline)] gave the new azo ligand. Treatment
of this ligand with the following metal ions Mn(п), Co(п), Ni(п), Cu(п) and Zn (п) with (1:2)
( M:L) ratio yield series of ionic complexes of general formula
[M (L)2 ]Cl2 .
The prepared complexes were characterized by using FT.IR , UV-Vis spectroscopic and
elemental microanalysis (C.H.N) as well as magnetic susceptibility and conductivity
measurement. Biological activity of the ligand and complexes against three select types of
bacteria were also examined. Some of the complexes exhibit good bacterial activity. From the
obtained data the octahedral structure for all prepared complexes.
