Ad. Patel et al., ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF NICKEL(II), COPPER(II) AND ZINC(II) CHELATES WITH 2,2'-BIPYRIDYLAMINE AND AROMATIC PHENOLS, Journal of coordination chemistry, 36(3), 1995, pp. 231-233
The present paper reports the isolation of mixed ligand complexes of t
he type MAL, where M = Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), A = 2,2'-bipyridylamine
and L = aromatic phenols such as catechol (catecholato -2), pyrogallo
l (pyrogallolato -3), 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (2,3-dihydroxynaphthala
to-2) or protocatechuic acid (protocatechuato-3). The antimicrobial ac
tivity of 2,2'-bipyridylamine and its Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) comple
xes is described.
