SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL STUDY OF CHLORO-BISMUTH(III) DERIVATIVES SUPPORTED BY BOTH β-KETIMINATE AND DITHIOCARBAMATE LIGANDS

Abstract

Nine new mixed N, O and S donor ligand derivatives of Chloro-bismuth(III)-Complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of BiCl3 with both β-Ketiminate and Piperidine dithiocarbamate ligands in equimolar ratio by stirring at room temperature in benzene solution. All these synthesized compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, molecular weight measurement, IR, (1H and13C) NMR and ESI-mass spectral studies. Both the free Ligands and their synthesized complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activity against the various bacterial and fungal strains and exhibited promising results.
