From the spectral measurements and magnetic susceptibility values a square planar geometry was proposed for Cu(II) complex and an octahedral geometry for Co(III) and Fe(III) complexes. The qualitative and quantitative antimicrobial activity test results proved that all the prepared complexes are very active especially against E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans and A. niger.enSquare planar geometryCu(II) complexCo(III) complexFe(III) complexAntimicrobial activityspectral studiesArticle
