Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Embelinthiosemicarbazone and its Transition Metal Complexes

Abstract

Embelinthiosemicarbazone (ETSC) bas been synthesized by condensing embelin with thiosemicarbazide. The complexes of ETSC with metal ions Cu(II), Ni(ll), Co(II), Mn(lI), Zn(II), Cd(II), VO(lI), UO₂(II), MoO₂(II), Fe(Ill) and Cr(III) were synthesized and characterized using various spectral techniques like UV, IR, ¹H NMR and magnetic and conductance measutements. Embelin,  ETSC and a few metal complexes of ETSC were screened for  their antibacterial  antifungal and anthelmintic activities.
