BIOACTIVE HETERO BIMETALLIC NI(II)/ZN(II) COMPLEXES WITH COMPARTMENTAL SCHIFF BASES AND TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE AS CO-LIGAND: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND THERMAL DECOMPOSITION

Abstract

Two new bimetallic complexes NiZnC22H14N4S2O2PPh3 and NiZnC26H16N4S2O2PPh3 has been synthesized and characterized using various spectral techniques like FT-IR, electronic, EDAX and SEM images. The synthesized complexes has been screened for the in-vitro antimicrobial activity against various test organisms. The complexes showed moderate to good potency against bacterial strains developing a productive environment for the development of a new class of antimicrobial agents. The bimetallic complexes were undergone thermal decomposition to get bimetallic oxide. The SEM images of the complexes and the oxide formed were compared.
