Sn(tch)(2){MCl2}(2) was prepared from the precursor Sn(tch)(2) and MCl2. It was subsequently allowed to react with diethyldithiocarbamate which yielded the trinuclear complexes of the type Sn(tch)(2){M-2(dtc)(4)}, where tch=thiocarbohydrazide, M=Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and dtc=diethyldithiocarbamate. They were characterized on the basis of microanalytical, thermal (TGA/DSC)., spectral (IR, UV-vis, EPR, H-1 NMR) studies, conductivity measurement and magnetic moment data. On the basis of spectral data a tetrahedral geometry has been proposed for the halide complexes, Sn(tch)(2){MCl2}(2) except for Cu(II) which exhibits a square planar coordination although the transition metal ion in Sn(tch)(2){M-2(dtc)(4)} achieves an octahedral geometry where the dithiocarbamato moiety acts as a symmetrical bidentate ligand. The bidentate nature has been established by the appearance of a sharp single v(C-S) around 1000 cm(-1). A downfield shift observed in NHa and NHb protons on moving from Sn(tch)(2) to Sn(tch)(2){MCl2}(2) is due to the drift of electrons toward metal atoms. A two-step pyrolysis has been observed in the Sn(tch)(2){MCl2}(2) complexes while their dithiocarbamato derivatives exhibit a three-stage degradation pattern. Finally, the in vitro antibacterial activity of Sn(tch)(2){M-2(dtc)(4)} and the mononuclear Sn(tch)(2) has been carried out on bacterial strains Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. The compounds were found to be active against the test organisms. The activity of the complexes is enhanced with increasing concentration. The maximum activity in both the strains was achieved by cobalt(II) dithiocarbamate complex. Minimum activity was found for Sn(tch)(2) which generally increases with the introduction of transition metal ion in the complex. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
