( Z )‐3‐((3‐hydroxybenzylidene)amino)pyridin‐1‐ium4‐dodecylbenzenesulfonate anionic surfactant and its cobalt, copper and zinc complexes were synthesized (I, I‐Co, I‐Cu and I‐Zn). The chemical structures of it were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1 H‐NMR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and atomic adsorption. The effects of the chemical structures of the synthesized anionic surfactant and the type of transition metals on the surface activity are presented in this paper. The thermodynamic parameters show that adsorption and micellization processes are spontaneous. The results of biological activity measurements showed that the synthesized compounds have a great efficiency against gram positive ( Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus ), gram‐ negative bacteria ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli ) and fungi ( Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger ) as well as the sulfate reducing bacteria ( Desulfomonas pigra ). The complexation of the anionic surfactant with Co 2+ , Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ increase the antimicrobial activity values.
