Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Properties of Some Thiocyanato Bridged Heteronuclear Complexes of Nickel

A series of heterobinuclear, thiocyanato-bridged complexes of cations [m(nh2x)6]2+, and [m(en)3]2+ (where x = h, ph; m=cu, co, cd, zn) with anion [ni(ncs)4]2–have been prepared by 1:1 molar ratio. the complexes have been characterized by ft-ir, 13c nmr and uv-vis spectroscopy, metal analysis, magnetic and conductance studies. the complexes have the following composition: [m(nh2x)5][ni(ncs)4], and [{m(en)2}{ni(ncs)4}]n. the antibacterial activity of the prepared complexes against the gram positive, bacillus cereus and gram negative salmonella typhi, pseudomonas alruginosa, escherichia coli pathogens also been investigated.
