The potassium salt of salicylidene-DL-alanine (KHL), bis(benzylidene) ethylenediamine (A1), thiophene-o-carboxaldene-p-toluidine (A 2), and its metal complexes of the formula [(MII(L)(A) (H2O)] (M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II); A = A1 or A2) are prepared. They are characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, and infrared and electronic spectral studies. The electronic spectral and magnetic moment data suggest an octahedral geometry for the complexes. All of these complexes, metal nitrates, fungicides (bavistin and emcarb), and ligands are screened for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, and Aspergillus flavus using a plate poison technique. The complexes show higher activity than those of the free ligands, metal nitrate, and the control (DMSO) and moderate activity against bavistin and emcarb. Pleiades publishing, Inc. 2006.
