Synthesis characterization, biocidal, and cytotoxic activities of Mn(II) and Hg(II) bridging complexes.

Dithiocarbamate transition metal complexes, which are organic molecules, are promising and appealing pharmacological targets for controlling and managing antibiotic-resistant microbial populations. The direct reaction has produced new transition metal complexes, Mn[C₁₀H₁₆O₂N₂S₄]₂ and Hg[C₁₀H₁₆O₂N₂S₄]₂ using the sodium morpholine dithiocarbamate ligand [C₅H₈ONS₂Na]. FTIR, UV–Visible, NMR techniques employed for the structural determination of complexes. Afterward, the synthesized compounds were subjected to analysis in order to evaluate their biocidal and anticancer activities. The Spectral Studies results suggest that the dithiocarbamate ion has the capacity to form robust bridging compounds with Mn (II) and Hg (II) cations.

These complexes have a reduced inclination for the creation of dative π bonds from the metal ion or to the sulfur atom. The results of the activity against bacteria show that the generated metal complexes are far more active than the ligand fragment. The theory of chelation implies there is a decrease in the ability of metallic compounds to undergo polarization or an increase in hydrogen bonding can lead to an increased susceptibility of the complex to dissolve in lipids, hence boosting its antimicrobial effectiveness. The compounds were tested for their therapeutic efficacy against a particular malignant cell. The findings of the HeLa cell line investigation suggest that Mn (II) and Hg (II) Compounds show promise for chemotherapeutic alternatives in the quest for anticancer medications. We have documented the methods of preparation, analysis, biocidal properties, and studies on apoptosis of Mn (II) and Hg (II) compounds with morpholine dithiocarbamate ligand. The complexes under investigation have demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer properties.

Hg (II) and Mn (II) compounds were obtained by treatment of metal precursors with Morpholine dithiocarbamate ligand. On the basis of characterization, the structure of the metal complex was elucidated. Compounds under investigation have shown potential anti-tumor, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.
