Fluoroboron(III) complexes of the azomethines derived from heterocycli
c aldehydes and 2-mercaptoaniline have been characterized on the basis
of I.R., H-1, C-13, B-11 and F-19 N.M.R. spectral studies along with
elemental analyses, conductivity measurements and molecular weight det
erminations. The equimolar reactions between borontrifluoride diacetic
acid and these thio-azomethines have afforded biologically active (az
omethine) BF, compounds in which the central atom appears to be in a t
etra-coordinated state. These thio-azomethines along with their comple
xes have been screened in vitro against a number of pathogenic fungi a
nd bacteria to assess their growth inhibiting potential.
