his study aims at improving the safety profile and hazardous effects of colored food additive ligation due to chemical
interaction with heavy metal ions, and predicting the hazard. The study based in mixing of 0.01 M of each ligand and
the same weights of metal chlorides (Cr

, Mn
++
, Fe
+++
, Co

, Ni

, Cu

, Zn

and Cd

). The structures elucidations and
thermal stability of the prepared complexes were done by IR, ESR and UV-visible, and thermal analysis. The IR spectra of
ligands and their complexes showed a shift for uOH, uC-H, uC=C, uC-C, uN=N, uC-N, uS-O and dN=N due to contribution
of azo group and OH group in complexation(1-2). ESR for cupper complexes showed that the structure of the complexes are
octahedral structure and an isotropic symmetrical structure. The UV-Visible spectra showed that the structure of the prepared
complexes are Oh with high spin nature, and the selective azo compound acts as weak ligands. The thermal stability and
thermal decomposition of ligands and they complexes were obtained from thermal analysis (TG and DTA )

. In this study,
4 microorganisms representing different microbial categories, two Gram-positive
(Streptococcus pyogenes
and
Staphylococcus
Epidermidis)
, two Gram negative
(Escherichia Coli
and
Klebsiella pneumoniae)
bacteria were used. Three different broadly
antibiotics (Levofloxacin, Vancomycin and Amikacin) are used in this study as references. The study included 24 compounds,
four ligands Sunset yellow, Red 2G, Tartrazine yellow and Newcoccine red, and 20 complexes of different metal ions. All
ligands and their complexes showed no activity with Gram negative bacteria but they have different activities to Gram positive
bacteria
