Abstract

Wereportthestructural,morphological andopticalactivities of a paramagneticmanganite(La0.33Ca0.67MnO3) synthesized at 900�C. A simple method of formation of complex was employed. A complex was formed between a pre-prepared manganite dissolved in HCl and reacted with an organic ligand (ethyl 4-nitrobenzoate). The optical and antimicrobial properties of a complex were determined. The Ultraviolet-visible and Fourier-transforminfra-red spectroscopy wereused inmonitoringoptical activitiesof theresultingproduct. Itwasobserved toabsorb in thevisible region (205nmand256nm). The peaks observed from the infra-red spectra indicated that the reaction occurred at the nitroso end of the ethyl 4- nitrobenzoate. The bacterial inhibitorypropertyoftheLCMO-ethyl 4-nitrobenzoatewasdetermined against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albican, Aspergillus niger and Staphylococcus auerus. It was observed to inhibit the growth of all the microbes with zone of inhibitions of 60mm, 56mm, 45mm and 32mm, for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albican, Aspergillus niger and Staphylococcus auerus, respectively
