description Novel triarylazoimidazoles containing strong electron donors (<i>p</i>-NEt<sub>2</sub>) or acceptors (<i>p</i>-NO<sub>2</sub>) by the azoaryl group, and their group 12 metal complexes were synthesized and fully characterized, including X-ray analysis for several complexes. Novel complexes exhibit red photo-luminescence emission (<i>Φ</i> up to  0.21) in a solution. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of complexes was tested against Gram-positive microorganism <i>S</i>. <i>aureus</i> and Gram-negative microorganism <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i>.
