Abstract

Complexes of Cu(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Hg(II), Cd(II) and Rh(III) with 2-pyridine carboxaldehyde-N-methyl-N-2-pyridylhydrazone (pamph) have been prepared and characterized. The new complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity and magnetic measurements, IR, UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic methods. The microbiological activity of the complexes was investigated against bacteria and fungi. Most of the complexes studied appear to be active against bacteria while all are active against fungi. The Cu, Cd and Hg complexes exhibit the highest activity against both bacteria and fungi.
