Synthesis of the complexes of salicylaldehyde-2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATASH) with M(II) sulphates and acetates was carried out (M=Ni, Cu, Co, Mn and Zn). The ligand and complexes were characterized by conductance, elemental analyses, infrared and electronic spectral studies. The conductivity data showed that both the ligand and complexes are non-electrolyte. The ligand and complexes were screened for antimicrobial activity and one of the compounds was relatively active against the organism tested. An octahedral coordination for Ni2+, Mn2+and Co2+ complexes was observed through the electronic spectroscopy while Cu2+ complexes may possibly be of a square planar coordination. The Infrared spectra a data indicate bidentate coordination via the oxygen of the carbonyl group and the azomethine group, the SO42- and OA- anions are in their inner coordination spheres.
