 ABSTRACT

    Transition metal complexes of Cr (III), Fe (III), Mn (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) with a bidentate ligand derived from the condensation of 2-hydrazine benzimidazole and isobutyraldehyde (MPBH) were synthesized. Characterization has been done on the basis of analytical, conductance, thermal and magnetic, infrared, 1H NMR, electronic, mass and ESR spectral data. From analytical, conductance and other physico chemical data, the tachometry of the complexes has been found to be 1:1 (metal to ligand). The general formula of the divalent complexes is [MLCl2 (H2O)2] and trivalent complexes is [MLCl3H2O], where L = MPBH. Infrared spectral data suggest that the ligand MPBH behaves as a neutral   bidentate ligand   with N: N donor sequence. On the basis of the above physico chemical data, it is proposed that all the complexes were assigned octahedral geometry. The ligand and the metal complexes were screened for their physiological activities against   E.coli and S.aureus. The order of the activity has been found to be Mn (II) > Fe (III) > Co (II) > Ni (II) > Cr (III) > Cu (II) > MPBH against E.coli and Mn (II) > Fe (III) > Co (II) > Ni (II) > Cu (II) > Cr (III) > MPBH with respect to S.aureus.

 Keywords:  2-Methyl propanal-1H-benzimidazol-2yl-hydrazone, Isobutyraldehyde, 2-Hydrazine benzimidazole, physiological activity.
