Physicochemical and antimicrobialproperties of some Cobalt (II) complexes.

Abstract

Mixed halides and nitrate cobalt (II) complexes of the type (CoXLY₂)^2- (where X and L are different halides and Y= nitrate) have been synthesized. The crystal field parameters, i.r, and magnetic data of the complexes suggest a tetrahedral environment of the ligating atoms around the central Co (II) ion. The antimicrobial activity if these compounds against four bacteria and a yeast is studied and the activity compared with that of a Cobalt (II) Chloride.
