SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERISATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF NICKEL(II) COMPLEXES DERIVED FROM PENTADENTATE SCHIFF BASE LIGAND

Two different para substituted dinuclear nickel(II) complexes [ Ni2L(O2CC6H4-p-X)] [ X= NO2, Cl ] were synthesized by the reaction of corresponding precursor withpentadentate Schiff base ligand.The ligand was characterized by UV-Visible,FTIR, NMRstudies.The synthesized complexes were characterized by molar conductance, UV- Visible, FTIR spectral studies.The ligand and its complexes screened for antimicrobial activity
