ABSTRACT: This study reports the synthesis of metal complexes
of mixed ligands p-Chlorophenyl-, p-Bromophenyl-dithiocarbamates. The spectral properties of the metal complexes
[Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II)] were obtained using the
FTIR and UV/Vis spectroscopic techniques. Their antibacterial studies revealed that
these complexes as well as the ligands could serve as possible antibacterial agents
against pathogens. Melting point and solubility
measurements were also carried out. It was observed that these complexes were non-toxic,
non-electrolytic and stable solids.
