Summary: | Cefadroxil (CD) is an essential pharmaceutical drug used in curing many diseases. Due to its popular use in many pharmaceutical forms, attention is paid in this research to the synthesis and stereochemistry of new iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc complexes of this drug both in solution and the solid states. The spectra of these complexes in solution and the study of their stoichiometry refer to the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 ratios of metal (M) to ligand (L). The calculated stability constants (

Infrared spectra proved the presence of MN and MO bonds. Magnetic susceptibility and solid reflectance spectral measurements were used to infer the structure. The prepared complexes were found to have the general formulae [ML(OH)
