Synthesis, Characterization and Antifungal Studies of Oxovanadium (IV) Complexes with Tetradentate Schiff Base Ligands

Probin Bora and Hardeo S. Yadav

A series of oxovanadium (IV) complexes were synthesised with tetradentate ligands derived by condensation of thenoyltrifluoroacetone with amino acids such as glycine, alanine, serine, cysteine and valine. Antifungal studies of the complexes were carried out against the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Candida glaberata and it was found that all the compounds are moderate antifungal agent. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic moment measurements, infer-red, UV and esr spectral data
