METAL-COMPLEXES OF COBALT(II), COPPER(II) AND NICKEL(II) WITH SOME DITHIOOXAMIDE DERIVED LIGANDS - THEIR SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURAL DETERMINATION AND ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES

The complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) with some dithiooxamide derived ligands have been synthesised and characterised on the basis of their elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment, electronic, NMR and IR spectral data. These prepared complexes have been subjected to screening against bacterial species staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Tuberculi bacilli. These studies have shown the metal complexes to be more antibacterial than those of the parent ligands.
