Abstract

Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) Zn(II) and Cd(II) metal ion complexes based on (3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzylamino)-3-(methylthio) propenoic acid (H3L) have been synthesized and characterized via elemental analyses, spectral (infrared (IR), 13CNMR, 1HNMR, UV–visible and mass), thermal analysis, magnetic moment and molar conductance. The analytical, spectroscopic and magnetic moment data suggest octahedral geometry for all complexes. The TG profile consists of four discreet stages. The complexes also were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity against four types of bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aereuguinosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtillis) and two types of antifungal infections (Aspergillus flavus and Candida Albicans).
