Abstract

Isonicotinohydroxamic acid (INHA) was synthesized, characterized, and its pKa determined spectrophotometrically as 8.680.05 at 25oC and in buffers of 0.1 mol dm-3 ionic strength (I). A spectroscopic investigation of its reaction with NiII in aqueous solution revealed the sole formation of the 1:2 complex at equilibrium. Spectra and magnetic studies of the isolated complex indicate octahedral coordination via the (N) atom of the hydroxamate group. Microbial sensitivity test on eight microorganisms used showed no activity.

 

Key words: Nickel (II), spectrophotometry, buffer, hydroxamate group, octahedral coordination microbial sensitivity.
