Abstract: The newly synthesized azamacrocyclic ligand L [2,6,12,16,21,22-hexaaza,4,14-diethyl,3,5,13,15-tetramethyltricyclo-[15,3,1,I7-11]-docosa-1(21),2,5,7,9,11(22),12-15,17,19-decene] was prepared by the reaction of 3-ethyl-2,4-pentadione and 2,6-diaminopyridine.The complexes of Ni(II) and Cu(II) were synthesized with this ligand. All the complexes were characterized by the molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, I.R., electronic and EPR spectral studies. The molar conductance measurement of the complexes in DMF solution is corresponding to non-electrolytic nature. Thus these complexes may be formulated   as [M(L)X2] [where,  M = Ni(II) and Cu(II) and X = Cl- and NO3-]. On the basis of spectral studies, an octahedral geometry for Ni(II) complexes and tetragonal for Cu(II) complexes is assigned. The biological activity of the ligand and complexes were screened in vitro against different pathogenic fungi and several bacteria to study their comparative capacity to inhibit the growth.
