title: Antitumor and antimicrobial activities of Fe(II)/Fe(III) complexes derived from some heterocyclic compounds.
abstract: The antitumor activities of some Fe(II)/Fe(III) complexes containing 1,3-diacetyl-2H-benzimidazole-2-thione along with a few derivatives of 1,2,4-triazol, 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole as co-ligands have been investigated. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of disulfido-/dichloro-bridged dinuclear Fe(III)/Fe(II) complexes containing similar heterocycles as terminal ligands have also been investigated.
