Four new mixed ligand complexes of Ni(II) have been prepared. The complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, magnetic measurements, infrared spectral and some physico-chemical analysis. The complexes showed strong to moderate activity against both the gram positive and gram negative bacteria indicating the higher zone of inhibition.
