Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activities of Mixed Ligand Complexes of Transition Metals using 2-Aminophenol and 2-Chloroaniline as Ligands

Abstract

Present investigation deals with synthesis of a series of seven mixed ligand complexes of first row transition metal ions such as Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) using 2-Aminophenol and 2-Chloroaniline as primary and secondary ligands respectively. The synthesized complexes are characterized using molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR and electronic spectra. 1H-NMR spectrum is recorded for Cr(III) complex as a sample to study the protonic arrangement present in the structure of complexes. All the synthesized complexes are proposed to have an octahedral geometry based on the results obtained. All the synthesized complexes are screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.
