Abstract

A Series of coordination complexes of the ligand 2- amino acetate, 6-nitro benzothiazole with some metal ions Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II) and Sn (II) has been successfully prepared and evaluated for their anti-bacterial activity. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, electronic spectra, infrared spectra, magnetic moment, and conductivity measurement. From spectral measurement, monomer structures for the complexes were proposed. Square planar geometry was proposed for copper complex. The other complexes were proposed to be tetrahedral. The anti-bacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria were investigated using disc diffusion method. and appreciate activity were observed.
