From magnetic moment studies, square planar geometry is suggested for Zn(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) complexes, octahedral geometry is proposed for Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) and distorted octahedral for Cu(II) complexes. Thermo gravimetric (TG) curves indicate the decomposition of complexes in four to five steps. The presence of coordinated water in metal complexes was confirmed by thermal, elemental analysis and IR data. Free ligand and its complexes were assayed <em>in vitro</em> for their antibacterial activity against <em>gram</em> positive and <em>gram</em> negative bacteria using chloramphenicol as a standard market-drug.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>:<strong> </strong>The reported complexes were synthesized through greener protocol that is grindstone method by mixing the ligand and metal salts in 2:1 molar ratio. Products were obtained in good yield with sharp melting point.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>:<strong> </strong>Studies have indicated that such complexes can be prepared by environment friendly approach which requires less time, simple workup for isolation and purification with good yield. The [Ni(pmpt)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>] complex showed excellent antibacterial activity while other reported metal complexes showed weak antibacterial activity.</p><p> </p> ER -
