title: Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and antibacterial activity of antimony(III) bis(dialkyldithiocarbamato)alkyldithiocarbonates.
abstract: Some mixed sulfur donor ligand complexes of antimony(III) of the general formula [(R(2)NCS(2))](2)SbS(2)COR' where R = CH(3), C(2)H(5) and R' = Me, Et, Pr(n), Pr(i), Bu(n) and Bu(i) have been synthesized by the reaction of antimony(III) bis(dialkyldithiocarbamate) chloride with potassium organodithiocarbonate in an equimolar ratio by stirring at room temperature in benzene/CS(2) mixture. These complexes have been characterized by physicochemical [elemental analysis, melting points and molecular weight determinations] and spectral [UV, IR, Far-IR, NMR ((1)H and (13)C), FAB(+) mass and powder X-ray diffraction] studies. Free ligands and synthesized complexes have also been screened against different bacterial strains and results obtained made it desirable to delineate a comparison between free ligands, standard drug used and synthesized complexes.
