Abstract

Twelve polymeric complexes were prepared from the polymerization of phenylazo-3-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) maleimide and Phenylazo-3-N-(3-hydroxyphenyl) maleimide, with salts of Cr³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Fe²⁺ these complexes were characterized by U.V., I.R. spectroscopy, elemental analysis, molar conductivity and magnetic moment, to ensure their geometry, according to these measurements all the complexes have tetrahedral geometry accept [CrL2Cl₃.H₂O ] and [NiL1Cl₂.2H₂O] which have octahedral one. The biological activity of these complexes showed a moderate inhibition towards some growth bacteria.

 

Keywords: Coordination polymalimdes, biological activity, azo complexes, azo compounds
