Abstract: Two new ligands derived from 2-aminophenol have been prepared. The first ligand (boron compound) L1 was prepared by refluxing one mole of sodium borohydride with two mole of 2-aminophenol in a mixture of methanol: acetone (2:1) .The second ligand (Schiff base) L2 was prepared by refluxing equimolar from 4-bromoacetophenone and 2-aminophenol in methanol: acetone (2:1). Cu (II) and Pt (IV) complexes of ligands have been also prepared. The ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity and spectral studies of FTIR, 1H,13CNMR, thermal analysis, UV-VIS, as well as atomic absorption and magnetic susceptibility of metal complexes. All prepared compounds were tested as antibacterial agents against gram negative bacteria (E-coli)and gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus).
