Abstract

A multifunctional ligand derivative of pyrrolidone has been synthesized by condensation reaction between 4-aminoantipyrine and 2-pyrrolidinone. The ligand and its Iron(II) complex were characterized using physical method and UV
and IR techniques. The ligand and Fe(II) complex were tested against broad spectrums of bacterial organisms and the results show that both the ligand and complex were active against various organisms tested.
