The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, and electronic and IR and TGA/DTA spectroscopic studies. The monometallic complexes (1) to (5) are found to have octahedral stereochemistry while complexes (6) to (10) are found to have distorted octahedral stereochemistry in which one of the Ni(II) centres is present in N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> coordination sphere and another Ni(II) centre is bonded to it through phenolate oxygen atoms via oxo-bridging.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Structural Assessment of Ni(II) Complexes Derived from Bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)succinoyldihydrazone

A novel one-dimensional coordination polymer bis(2-aminopyridine)-<i>&#x3bc;</i>-bis(dicyanamido) cobaltate(II) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and infrared and ultraviolet visible spectroscopies and the structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Co(II) ion in the complex is coordinated to two axial 2-aminopyridine ligands through the pyridine N-atom and four equatorial dicyanamide ligands to give a CoN<sub>6</sub> slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment around the metal ion. The amino N-atom forms intrachain hydrogen bonds. Antimicrobial screening of the complex against eight pathogenic microorganisms (four bacteria and four fungi) isolated from humans, indicates that the complex is moderately active.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Antimicrobial Properties of a Novel 1-D Cobalt Coordination Polymer with Dicyanamide and 2-Aminopyridine

A pentacoordinated mononuclear copper(II) complex, namely, bis(2,2&#x2032;-bipyridine)sulphatecopper(II) urea trisolvate dihydrate, has been synthesised and characterised by molar conductance and UV-Vis and FTIR spectra. The structure of the complex was unambiguously confirmed by single crystal XRD.

The Cu(II) ion is coordinated to four nitrogen atoms of two bidentate 2,2&#x2032;-bipyridine ligands (bipy) and by one oxygen atom of the sulphate group and displays distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The Cu(II) complex was screened for antimicrobial activity against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Klebsiella pneumonia</i>, <i>Aspergillus niger</i>, <i>Aspergillus flavus</i>, and <i>Candida albicans</i>. Larvicidal activity of the synthesized copper(II) complex was carried out against larvae of <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> and <i>Anopheles subpictus</i>.

Layered metal hydroxynitrates and mixed metal hydroxynitrates (copper/cobalt hydroxynitrates and zinc/cobalt hydroxynitrates at different mole ratios) were synthesized by hydrolysis of urea and metal nitrates at 140&#xb0;C. Layered metal hydroxyl nitrates derive their structure from brucite mineral and generally crystallize in hexagonal and monoclinic phases.

Biphasic mixture of metal hydroxynitrate/metal oxide is observed in case of cobalt/zinc based layered hydroxynitrates, while copper hydroxynitrate or copper/cobalt metal hydroxynitrate decomposes in a single step. The decomposition temperatures of layered metal hydroxynitrates and mixed layered metal hydroxides depend on the method of preparation, their composition and the nature of metal ion, and their coordination.

Thermal Decomposition Studies of Layered Metal Hydroxynitrates (Metal: Cu, Zn, Cu/Co, and Zn/Co)

The present paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of metal complex of tridentate Schiff base ligand derived from the inserted condensation of 2-aminobenzimidazole (1H-benzimidazol-2-amine) with salicylaldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) in a 1&#x2009;:&#x2009;1 molar ratio. Using this tridentate ligand, complex of Zn(II) with general formula ML has been synthesized. The synthesized complex was characterized by several techniques using molar conductance, elemental analysis, FT-IR, and mass and <sup>1</sup>HNMR spectroscopy. The elemental analysis data suggest the stoichiometry to be 1&#x2009;:&#x2009;1 [M&#x2009;:&#x2009;L]. The complex is nonelectrolytic in nature as suggested by molar conductance measurements. Infrared spectral data indicate the coordination between the ligand and the central metal ion through deprotonated phenolic oxygen, imidazole nitrogen of benzimidazole ring, and azomethine nitrogen atom. Spectral studies suggest tetrahedral geometry for the complex. The pure compound, synthesized ligand, and metal complex were screened for their antimicrobial activity.
