Abstract:
[Cu(C6H12N4)3(H2O)3]SO4 has been synthesized in water and ethanol. The complexes have been
characterized by Magnetic measurement, Atomic absorption, infrared and visible spectroscopy as
well as conductivity. The results suggest octahedral coordination in which the central metal ion
is bonded to aqua ligands and the HMTA. Antibacterial activities of the ligand showed that the
ligand is active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi of Staphylococcus aureus
(Gram-Positive bacteria), Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi
tested bacteria species but the complex was active against all tested bacteria species. The
complex showed greater activity than the reference antibiotic gentamycin against Salmonella
typhi.
