Five novel antimony(III) complexes with the mono- and bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligands of 2N1S or 4N2S donor atoms, N′-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]morpholine-4-carbothiohydrazide (Hmtsc, L1) and bis[N′-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]]-1,4-piperazinedicarbothiohydrazide (H2ptsc, L7), and the tridentate semicarbazone ligand of 2N1O donor atoms, 2-acetylpyridine semicarbazone (Hasc, L2b), were prepared by reactions of SbCl3 or SbBr3, and characterized by elemental analysis, TG/DTA, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of five antimony(III) complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The neutral, 6-coordinate antimony(III) complexes ([Sb(mtsc)Cl2] 1, [Sb(mtsc)Br2] 2, [Sb(asc)Cl2] 3 and [Sb(asc)Br2] 4) are depicted with one electron pair (5s2) of the antimony(III) atom, deprotonated forms of multidentate thiosemicarbazone or semicarbazone ligands, and two monodentate halogen ligands, respectively. In the dimer complex 5 ([Sb2(ptsc)Cl4]) with the ligand in which two tridentate thiosemicarbazone moieties are connected by the piperazine moiety, each antimony(III) was also described as a neutral 6-coordinate structure. These antimony(III) complexes were thermally stable around 200 °C. Water-soluble antimony(III) complexes 1 and 2 showed moderate antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and -negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), yeasts (Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and molds (Aspergillus niger and Penicillium citrinum). Complex 5 showed moderate antimicrobial activities against four bacteria, and two molds, while the ligand itself showed only modest antimicrobial activities against selected bacteria (B. subtilis, E. coli and S. aureus). The molecular structures and antimicrobial activities of antimony(III) complexes were compared with those of bismuth(III) complexes in the same 15 group in the periodic table.
