Synthesis and fungicidal activities of transition metal complexes of the 2-Amino -4-(P-Methoxy Phenyl) Thiazole

Transition metal complexes derived from the ligand 2-amino-4-(p-methoxy phenyl) thiazole were prepared and characterized with the help of their elemental analysis, IR, electronic and magnetic susceptibility studies. The complexes is of the type ML₂X₂ (where M = Cu (II), Co (II) and Ni (II), L= 2-amino-4-(p-methoxy phenyl) thiazole and X= ci⁻, CH₃COO⁻. IR studies have shown that nitrogen of the amino group and sulphur of the thiazole ring took part in co-ordination. Magnetic and electronic spectral studies have shown that all the complexes are having octahedral geometry. These newly synthesized complexes were also screened for their antifungal activity against different fungi at different concentrations. The activity decreases with decrease of concentration and the metal complexes are less toxic than the parent ligand.
