Abstract
Ternary complexes of copper(II) and zinc(II) metal ions with the ligands maltol; 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyrone (MA) and glycylglycine (GG) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1 H NMR, UV-Visible, mass spectra and TGA techniques. The complexes have been screened for antibacterial activity and the results are compared with the activity of free ligands. Increased activity of ternary complexes than corresponding free ligands is evident from these studies suggests more lipophilicity of metal complexes to act on bacterial cell.
