Abstract: A spectroscopic investigation of the reaction of Co2+ with isonicotinohydroxamic acid (INHAH) in aqueous solution of I = 0.1 moL dm-3 at 25°C reveals the sole formation of 1: 2 complex, spectral and magnetic studies on the isolated complex indicate an octahedral geometry with an O, N coordination mode for the ligand. Microbial sensitivity test on eight microorganism shown an enhanced antimicrobial activity for the complex relative to the free ligand.
