Abstract

The present work reports a new series of metal chel ates of amic acid ligand derived from 9,10,11,15-te trahydro- 9,10-[3,4]-furanoanthracene-12,14-dioneand aromatic primary amine. The synthesized ligand was characte rized by Elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, TGA and non-aqueous conductometric titration while its metal complexes were characterized by Elemental analysis, FT-IR, Magneti c susceptibility and TGA. Further antibacterial and antifungal activities of this ligand and its metal chelates ha ve been carried out.
