Abstract

Some new complexes of the type M (C15H12N3O2₎₂. x H₂O {where M= Mn(II), Co(II) ,Ni (II) and Cu (II } and  M (C₁₅H₁₂N₃O₂ )₃ [M = Cr(III) and Fe(III ] have been prepared and characterized on the basis of their element analysis, IR spectra, electronic spectra, and magnetic moments. All the metal chelates have significant fungitoxicity at 1000 ppm, but their toxicity decreased marketedly on dilution (viz at 100 and 10 ppm ). The metal chelates were more potent against both the fungi, viz A. niger and R. nigracans than the parent compound and its sodium salt.
