Electrochemical properties were determined by cyclic voltammetry. Antimicrobial activities of the ligand and complex were tested against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, using disk diffusion method and both were found to exhibit good biological activity.en1H NMRelemental analysisUV/VIS spectroscopyGram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.Article
