 Abstract: Binuclear complexes of VO2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ with oxalyl bis(diacetylmonoxime hydrazone), H4ODMH, have been prepared. Elemental analysis, spectral studies (IR, U.V-Vis., 1H NMR, ESR, MS) and magnetic measurements were proved the structure of the formed chelates. The data of elemental analysis suggest a 2:2 (M:L) molar ratio. H4ODMH behaves as a dibasic tetradentate ligand in all the studied complexes. The electronic spectra and magnetic moments reveal an octahedral geometry for the VO2+ complex, tetrahedral for the Zn(II) and square-planar for the rest. The anomalous magnetic moment for the VO2+ complex is taken as strong evidence for the metal-metal bond.  The ESR spectra of the Cu(II) complex, in powder and DMF solution, reveal a square-planar geometry. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the investigated compounds reveals a higher activity of H4ODMH  than its complexes.

 Key words: Metal Complexes, Oxalyl Bis(Diacetylmonoxime Hydrazone), Spectroscopic Characterization, antimicrobial activity.
