Abstract
Mixed ligand complexes of Mn(II) and Zn(II) in the presence of phthalic acid or succinic acid and heterocyclic amines were synthesized and characterized. The structure of the synthesized complex was determined by elemental analysis, magnetic moment measurements, conductometric, FTIR spectral studies, and electronic spectra analysis. The complexes were showed colored, nonelectrolytic in nature. Complexes of Mn(II) were paramagnetic and Zn(II) were diamagnetic. Our results indicated that the Mn(II) complexes were octahedral, while Zn(II) complexes were of tetrahedral and octahedral structure. The synthesized complexes showed both antifungal and antibacterial activity.
