Abstract
Imidazole terpyridine (L) and its Fe (II), Co(II) metal complexes were synthesized. IR, UV
vis, Mass, elemental analysis, electrical conductance and magnetic moments is techniques were applied
for characterization. Cyclic voltammetry studies of Fe (II) and Co(II) complexes in DMSO show that
the complexes able to stabilize low oxidation states of Fe(I) and Co(I). The complexes were evaluated
for antimicrobial and DPPH radical scavenging activities. They showed varying degree of activity with
thevalues between 28.95-97.36 µm in DPPH radical scavenging activity. These synthesized metal
complexes were found to be less active than the ligand and standard for DPPH radical scavenging
activity. The antimicrobial activities of the metal complexes were found to more acive than the ligand
and the antifungal activity of the ligand, Fe (II) complex are insensitive.
