The isothiosemicarbazone ligand was characterized by NMR ( 1 H and 13 C), IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All the complexes were character- ized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, ESI-MS spectroscopy, molar conductiv- ity, magnetic susceptibility measurements. X-ray diffraction analysis on the monocrystal and powder elucidated the structure of the complexes 1,5, 7and 8. The ligand and the complexes were tested for their antioxidant and antimi- crobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans. Also, the antiproliferative properties of these compounds on human leukemia HL-60, human cervical epithelial HeLa, human epithelial pancreatic adenocarcinoma BxPC-3, human muscle rhabdomyosarcoma spindle, large multinucleated RD cells and normal MDCK cells have been investigated.
