Abstract: The present study mainly investigates the synthesis and growth of some novel bioactive Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) compounds (1–3) derived from 2–aminobenzamide (o– aminobenzamide: 2AB: L) and L–asparagine (asn: B). The synthesised compounds were structurally characterized by various physico–chemical and spectral (FTIR, UV–vis., TGA/DTA, XRD and SEM) studies. The micro elemental (C, H and N) analysis suggests that stoichiometry of the metal(II) compounds to be 1:1:1 (Metal: 2AB: asn). The observed low molar conductance values reveal their non–electrolytic nature and the observed electronic spectra coupled with magnetic moment values clearly indicate that the ligands 2AB (L) and asn (B) coordinate with metal(II) ions in tetradentate manner through amino–N & amido–O of (L) and deprotonated carboxylato–O & amino–N atoms of (B) to form a stable 6, 5 membered chelate ring. Powder X–ray diffractogram and SEM pictograph implies that all the compounds have well–defined nanocrystallinity with homogeneous morphology. All the derived compounds (1–3) show significant in vitro biological and antioxidant activities than the 2AB(L) and asn(B) in their free state and the activities go behind the order as Control >> CuLB >> NiLB ≈ ZnLB > 2AB(L) > asn(B).
