A B-keto ester as a novel, efficient, and versatile ligand for Ni(ii) and Co(ii) complexes and evaluation anti-bacterial activity

Abstract

New versatile bi-dentate ligand α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone was used for the synthesis of transition metal, complexes of Ni (II) and Co (II). Present communication describes Synthesis, Characterization and IR spectrum, elemental analysis, mass spectrum and UV visible and antimicrobial activity of the complex.
