Résumé
A nickel(II) complex with hexamethylenetetramine and thiocyanate ion as coligands has been synthesized and characterised by infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of the complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the ligands were found to coordinate terminally through N-atoms. The ligand and the complex were screened for their activity against resistant strains of bacteria ( Salmonella enteric , Shigella flexneri , Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus ) and fungi ( Candida albicans , Candida krusei , Candida parapsilosis, and Candida neoformans ).
