Synthesis, structural characterization, and biological activities of mononuclear Fe(II), Mn(II), and Ni(II) complexes derived from N-[2-(2-diethylaminoethyliminomethyl)phenyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Abstract Fe(II), Mn(II), and Ni(II) complexes based on N-[2-(2-diethylaminoethyliminomethyl)phenyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (HL) of ML2 composition were synthesized. The structures of the complexes were established by elemental analysis, IR, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray analysis. The resulting complexes were tested for fungistatic, protistocidal, and antibacterial activities.
