MICROWAVE SYNTHESIS AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF BORON(III) COMPLEXES

Microwave assisted synthesis of boron(III) complexes of isobutylmethylketone-benzothiazoline (L1H) and isobutylmethylketonedithiocarbazate (L2H) has been reported. The newly synthesized compounds, have been characterized thoroughly by physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The spectral data are consistent with a tetracoordinated environment around,the boron atom in which the ligands acts as a monobasic bidentate ligand, coordinating through nitrogen and sulfur atoms. Ligands and their chelates were tested against certain microorganisms to assess their antimicrobial properties and the results are indeed positive.
