Highly reactive four dentate Schiff base ligand L-1 has been prepared and used to synthesize a series of metal [Mg(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)] coordinating complexes 1-4. Spectroscopic and analytical techniques were used to elucidate the structures of all compounds. To investigate antibacterial activities of the complexes, E. Coli, Shigella Dysenteriae and Shigella Sonnei gram negative bacteria are used while streptomycin and ciprofloxacin antibiotics were used as standards. All complexes have shown satisfactory results as antibacterial agents to inhibit bacterial growth.
Keywords: Antibiotic, Conductance, Complexes, Bacteria, Ligand
