[2-chloro-5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl azo)phenyl] phenylmethanone is an azodye derived from (2-amino-5-chlorophenyl)PhenylMethanone. Three new complexes of this azodye with the metal ions Mn(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) have been prepared and characterized by various analytical methods like microanalytical method, metal estimation, anion estimation, conductance and magnetic moment measurements. These complexes were also characterized by spectral techniques like FTIR, Electronic, and ESR. The azodye and the selected complexes were subjected to antimicrobial study, antioxidant study and anticancer study. The spectral and analytical data confirms that the azodye acting as tridentate ligand with the metal ions Mn(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) and. The ligand and the metal ions in the complexes are found to be 1:1 ratio.
