Abstract

Tetraazamacrocyclic complexes have been synthesized by the condensation of 2, 3-diamino naphthalene, diethyl 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate and metal ion salts of Mn (II), Ni (II). These synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, UV/Vis, IR and cyclic voltammetric technique. These complexes were also screened against antimicrobial activity. These complexes were found to be distorted octahedral geometry on the basic of electronic spectra. The electrochemical behavior of these complexes suggested that metal centers were distinguished by their intrinsic redox systems.
