The azo ligand obtained from the diazotization reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole and 4-
nitroaniline yielded a novel series of complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) ions. The complexes were
investigated using spectral techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic analyses, LC-MS
and atomic absorption spectrometry, electrical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility. The molar ratio of the
synthesized compounds was determined using the ligand exchange ratio, which revealed the metal-ligand ratios in
the isolated complexes were 1:2. The synthesized complexes were tested for antimicrobial activity against S. aureus,
E. coli, C. albicans, and C. tropicalis bacterial species. Additionally, their binding affinities we
