Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains was assessed in all complexes. The highest radical scavenging (72.2 %) was obtained for [3-(3-chloro-2-({[dichloro(eta 6-benzene)ruthenium]diphenylphosphanyl}oxy)propyl)-1-butyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride], 4 at 200 mu g/mL concentration, while [3-(3-chloro-2-({[dichloro(eta 5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-iridium]diphenylphosphanyl}oxy)pro-pyl)-1-butyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride], 6 demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity as 13 mm inhibition zone against E. hirea. Furthermore, optical and electrochemical featured of metal complexes containing imidazole phosphinite were investigated utilizing UV-vis absorption and cyclic voltammetry techniques. Consequently, all complexes can be proposed as metal-based charge convertible phosphinite complexes which may be employed as new generation and synergistic Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) materials.
