Mechanochemical Synthesis, Characterization And Antimicrobial Activities Of Benzyl-n,n-dimethyl Dithiocarbamate And Its Fe3+ Complex

ABSTRACT The strategy of utilizing mechanochemical synthesis to obtain metal-organic frameworks with high surface area and nanodisperse particles has been espoused. Transition metal ions have been shown to form complexes with organic moieties such as benzyl-N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate. It has been established that iron in its oxidised state (Fe3+) is cidal to microorganisms and dialkyldithiocarbamates have an established antifungal activity, the complex of Fe3+ and benzyl-N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate ups the effectiveness of antimicrobial action of the individual compounds.  Just Chapter…
