Synthetic, Spectral and Antibacterial Studies onComplexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with2,2'-Imino Bis-4,4'-Diphenylthiazole

Abstract

A series of complexes of the type ML₂X_2´ where M = Co(II),

Ni(II) and Cu(II), L = 2,2´-iminobis-4,4´-diphenyl thiazole and

X = Cl^–, Br^–, NO₃^– and ClO^–₄, have been synthesized and characterized

on the basis of elemental analysis, molecular weight measurements,

molar conductance, room temperature, magnetic

moment, infrared and electronic spectral data. Elemental analysis

confirms the stereochemistry of the complexes. The complexes are

monomeric and nonelectrolytic in nature. Magnetic moment values

indicate paramagnetic nature of the complexes. IR spectra reveal

the coordination of the ligands and anions. The electronic spectral

data suggest octahedral geometry for the complexes. The complexes

show feeble to moderate antibacterial and antifungal activities.
