Abstract

The transition metal complexes of the type ML2 [Where L=dithiocarbamate derivative of Diphenylamine and M=chlorides of [Cr(III),Mn(II),Fe(III), Co(II),Ni(II),Cu(II) and Cd(II)] were synthesized by the reaction of metal chloride with ligand L in the 1:2 molar ratio. The resulting complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR spectral analysis, conductivity measurement, antimicrobial activities. Analysis of results reviles that the complexes shows square planer, tetrahedral and octahedral geometry, non-electrolytic nature and having more antimicrobial activity than the ligands. The ligands are bonded to metal through two sulphur atoms and acting as bidentet ligand.

Keywords: Dithiocarbamate, Diphenylamine, transition metals.
