Synthesis, Thermogravimetric, Microbial Studies of Ligand and its Metal Derivatives

o-Amino-N, N-diethylbenzylamine and its complexes with Cd(II), Pb(II) and Hg(II) metals were synthesized. The evaluation of complexes was carried out on the basis of infrared and analytical data. The amount of metals was estimated by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Crystalline nature of complexes was investigated by their XRD pattern. Thermal behavior of the complexes was studied by Thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) to find out the relative stabilities of the complexes. Antimicrobial activities of complexes were investigated by diffusion plate method.
