	  abstract     = {Zirconium diamine and triamine complexes can possess biological activities. These complexes were synthesised via the reaction of equimolar quantities of 1,10-phenanthroline NC3H3(C6H2)NC3H3 (L1) or 4-4-amino phenazone ONC6H5(NH)CH(NH2 (L2) or diphenyl carbizon HNNCO(NH)2(C6H5) (L3) with a Zirconium Salt ZrOCl2 in a 1:1 ratio to form complexes [NC3H3(C6H2)NC3H3ZrOCl2] [ZrOCl2L1], [(O2NC6H4(NH)(NH2)ZrOCl2] [ZrOCl2L2] and [HNNCO(NH)2(C6H5)ZrOCl2] [ZrOCl2L3] respectively. They were characterised using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. Also a variable temperature study of these complexes was completed, using UV-Visible spectroscopy to observe electronic transitions under temperature control. Also a DFT study was done on these complexes via the information from FT-IR and UV-Visible spectroscopy.

These complexes were found to show different inhibition to the growth of bacterial strains of Bacillus spp. & Klebsiella spp. & E. coli & Proteus spp. & Pseudomona spp. at different concentrations (0.001, 0.2 and 1M). For better understanding these complexes were examined by using a Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation.
