2-(2-(2-hydroxybenzyliden) hydrazinyl)-2-oxo-N-(pyridine-2-yl) acetamide complexes of Ni(II) and Co(II) prepared. The proposed structures proved based on elemental, DFT, and spectral analysis. The DNA binding affinity and MIC activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, pathogenic C. albicans and A. flavus fungal strain tested.
