Abstract:

A ternary metal complexes of Ni(II) where HL representso-hydroxyacetophenone as a ligandwas synthesizedin this work. The coordination behavior of HL towards the selected metal ions in addition todetermination of the geometry of complexes have been deduced from the elemental analyses, spectral techniques (IR, and UV–Vis), conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements.Correlation of all spectroscopic and analytical data reflect that; HL behaves as a neutral bidentate ligand,octahedral geometry are assigned for Ni(II) complex. The thermal stability of the metal complex in comparison to HL was investigated through the thermal studies , also the number and the nature of the water molecules was identifiedby thermal study. HL and its complex was screened for in vitroantimicrobial activities against a set of bacterial and fungal species using agar well diffusion method.

Key words: Complexes, thermal studies, antimicrobial activity.
