ABSTRACT: Sulfadiazine Schiff base and Phenyl dithiocarbamate mixed ligand metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The characterization of metal complexes is based on the results of the solubility, colour, melting points and elemental analysis as well as the spectroscopic studies. The results obtained from the spectroscopic spectra revealed from the UV-visible showed the presence of chromophoric groups while the FTIR results confirmed that the metals coordinated through the two nitrogen atoms of Sulfadiazine Schiff base and sulphur atom of the N-phenyl dithiocarbamate. Also the antimicrobial activities of the metal complexes proved that the metal complexes are more active than the parent ligands.
