TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES OF PENTAMETHYLENE DITHIOCARBAMATE AND DIAMINES: SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION, AND BIOACTIVITY STUDIES

A new series of Ni(II),Zn(II) and Cu(II) mixed ligand complexes of pentamethylenedithiocarbamate(pmdtc) with diamines such as ethylene diamine(en), diethylenetriamine (dien) and triethylenetetramine(trien) are reported. The synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental, thermal and magnetic analysis, UV-Visible, infra-red, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and ESR Spectral studies. Antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer activities have also been carried out for these complexes. All the complexes have shown reasonable activity indicating apromising future for the mixed ligand complexes of Ni (II), Zn (II), and Cu (II) in biological field with less side effects
