Nickel Complex Antifungal Evaluation with Mixed Ligands

Abstract

Valine has been synthesized as a secondary ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as a primary ligand in a mixed ligands transition metal ion complex of Ni(II) ion. The antifungal properties of the complex were assessed by measuring its capacity to stop the growth diameter of three different fungus species: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus Niger, and Pencillium. Various doses of the complex were used.
