Some novel symmetric 1,1′-dimethylferrocene derived amino acids have been prepared by the reaction of 1,1′-ferrocenedimethyldichloride with amino acids (glycine, alanine, phenylalanine and tyrosine). Their Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, of the type [M(L)] where [M = Cu(II) and L = L1-L5] and [M(L)Cl2] where [M-Co(II)and Ni(II), L = L1-L5] have been prepared. The dicarboxylic acids and their metal complexes were characterized by their physical, analytical and spectral data. The [M(L)] complexes showed a square planar geometry whereas an octahedral geometry was observed for [M(L)Cl2] complexes.

2-Aminothiazole undergoes condensation reactions with furane-, thiophene- and pyrrole-2-carboxylaldehyde to give tridentate NNO, NNS and NNN Schiff bases respectively. These tridentate Schiff bases formed complexes of the type [M (L)2]X2 where [M=Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Zn(II), L=N-(2-furanylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L1), N-(2-thiophenylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L2, N-(2-pyrrolylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L3) and X=Cl. The structures of these Schiff bases and of their complexes have been determined on the basis of their physical, analytical and spectral data. The screening results of these compounds indicated them to possess excellent antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic bacterial organisms e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureous and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, in comparison, their metal chelates have been shown to possess more antibacterial activity than the uncomplexed Schiff bases
