Summary

The quadridentate ligands, prepared by condensation ofS-methyl- andS-benzyldithiocarbazate with glyoxal, form stable crystalline complexes of gerferal formula, M(SNNS) (M=NiII, CuII, ZnII and CdII; SNNS−2=ligand dianion). The NiII complexes are diamagnetic but electronic spectral data support a dimeric five-coordinate geometry. Based on magnetic and spectral data, a five-coordinate square-pyramidal structure is also assigned to the copper(II) complexes. The ZnII and CdII complexes are polymeric and octahedral. The Schiff bases and metal complexes display good antifungal and antibacterial properties.
