Comprehensive characterization techniques, including elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, magnetic moment measurements, electronic spectra, mass spectrometry, thermal analysis, and DFT calculations, confirmed the successful formation of the complexes with a 1:1:1 (M:IA:SB) stoichiometry. Structural analysis revealed that FeIASB adopts an octahedral geometry with one coordinated water molecule, whereas CoIASB exhibits an octahedral geometry with two coordinated water molecules. DFT calculations provided key insights into the electronic modifications induced by metal coordination, highlighting a significant reduction in the energy gap and increased molecular softness, both of which enhance the reactivity and predicted biological activity of the complexes. Biological evaluations demonstrated that FeIASB and CoIASB exhibited remarkable antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, outperforming the free ligands and showing comparable efficacy to the standard antibiotic Amoxicillin. Similarly, antifungal assessments against <em>Candida albicans</em> and <em>Aspergillus niger</em> confirmed superior activity compared to the uncoordinated ligands. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values further validated the enhanced potency of the metal complexes. Additionally, the complexes displayed significant anti-inflammatory activity, with FeIASB exhibiting the highest potency, as indicated by its IC<sub>50</sub> value closely approaching that of the standard drug. Molecular docking studies against DNA gyrase B revealed that FeIASB possessed the strongest binding affinity, forming multiple hydrogen bonds with key amino acid residues, underscoring its potential as an antibacterial agent.
