CHM05 Testing Bioactivity Effects of Transition Metal Complexes with Bidentate Ion

Abstract

The study involves the production of two different kinds of complexes with the metals Fe(III) and Cu(II) that contain oxalate ions. They had been studied by molar conductance, melting point, atomic absorption measurements (A.A), magnetic moment measurements infrared (FTIR) and electronic (UV.VIS) spectra. Encompasses the investigation of these complexes' biological effects on many harmful bacterial species: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive (+ve) bacteria, while the other bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are gram negative (-ve). The Muller Inhibitors Concentration (MIC) method is used to assess the impact of metal ions during chelation and demonstrate the various levels of inhibition on bacterial growth.
