First row transition Metal Complexes of Morpholine Dithiocar bamates and Diamines –Synthesis, Spectroscopic Investigation and Biological Studies

Novel mixed ligand complexes of Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) of composistion [M(morphdtc)2(diamine)] were prepared where diamines en/dien/trien and morphdtc stands for morpholinedithiocarbamate. The complexes were characterised using IR, UV-Visible,Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Electron spin resonance spectroscopic studies and Magnetic analysis using Vibrating sample magnetometer . The complexes were tested for their fungicidal and bactericidal activities against 3 different fungi and 5 different bacteria respectively. Their anticancer activities were also studied and a comparative account of their antimicrobial and anticancer activities is being presented here.
