Abstract:
Mixed ligand transition metal
complexes of Cu (II), Co (III), Rh (III) and Pt (IV)
ions with dibasic acids viz., diphenic acid and
adipic acid as primary ligands and amine bases
as secondary ligands have been synthesized. Their
conventional physical and chemical analyses have
been done. The antifungal activities have been
evaluated by Disc Diffusion method employed for
antifungal assays against two pathogenic fungi.
All the complexes show moderate antifungal
activity. The highest inhibition of growth occurred
on complex [Cu (DA)(8-HQ)] against the fungi
Botryodiplodia theobromae and the lowest on
complex [Rh (DA)(8-HQ)(H2 O)2] against the
fungi Colletotrichum gloesparioides penz.
