ABSTRACT:

Oximic ligands (HL) were synthesised using 5-nitro salicyladehyde, 2-hydroxy-1-napthaldehyde and resacetophenone. Vanadyl complexes of these oximes were synthesised having metal: ligand stoichiometry 1:2. The ligands and the respective vanadyl complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, electronic absorption spectra, ESR spectral data and magnetic susceptibility data. These complexes were also studied for their antibacterial activity. On the basis of these investigations probable geometry was assigned to these vanadyl complexes.
