The Schiff base ligand L consisted of 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde and 2,6-diaminopyridine. The ligand L reaction with Th(NO3)4·4H2O generate corresponding complex ThL. The bacteriostatic activity of ligand L and complex ThL were investigated. The results indicate that both ligand L and complex ThL have good inhibitory effect for Bacillus subtilis,Escherichia coli and Lactic acid bacteria. Complex ThL bacteriostatic activity is much better than ligand L,the best concentrati...
