Characterization, X-ray Diffraction and Microbiological Studies on Some [M(II) (Phene)x] TeO3.nH2O Complexes

Abstract

Co(Il), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline with newanion tellurite (TeO₃^2-) have been synthesised and characterised on thebasis of elemental analysis, infrared, electronic spectra, TGA and X-raydiffraction studies. Powder X -ray diffraction studies have been undertakento determine lattice parameters, viz., crystal system, crystal lattice edgeand volume. Octahderal structure for the Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes anda square-plan structures for the Cu(II) complexes have been suggested.The complexes of the series exhibit promising antibacterial and antifungalactivity.
