The complexes prepared are stable and have been found to be active against the selected bacteria. Given that the anti-TB drugs are very specific in their activities, the following recommendations are made:
i). This results form the basis for further investigations to determine the activities of the compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
ii). The actual first line drug molecules used against TB, being amines, be coordinated to the half sandwich moiety [(η5-C5H5)(CO)(PPh3)Fe] and the bioactivities of the resultant compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
