This paper describes the synthesis, spectral studies and antimicrobial properties of the complexes with the formula [M(C30H24N4O2)Cl2], where M = Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II). These complexes were prepared by yield effective template condensation of hexamethylenediamine and 2,2-dihydroxyindane-1,3-dione(ninhydrin). The synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, Mass spectrum, 13C NMR, molar conductance, electronic spectra, magnetic measurements. TGA and X-ray diffraction studies were used to ascertain the crystal structure and thermal stability of the complexes. The antimicrobial properties of complexes against two Gram-positive bacteria and two Gram-negative bacteria were evaluated by Agar well diffusion technique. Streptomycin and chloramphenicol were taken as standard antibiotics. The results shows that some of the complexes have potential to act as antibacterial agents.
