The complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Zn(II), UO2(VI), and Th(IV) with benzofuran thiosemicarbazides have been prepared. All complexes have the general formula MLXn, where n = 2 or 4, X = Cl or NO3 and L is the ligand prepared by the reaction of benzofuran-2-carboxyhydrazide with p-methyl, p-methoxy, or p-bromophenylisothiocyanate. The complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, spectral, magnetic moment, and conductance studies. The ligands coordinate to the metal ions through the oxygen of the arbonyl group and the nitrogen of the hydrazine group. We have assigned the probable geometry for all of these complexes based on their physico-chemical data. All the metal complexes and ligands were screened for their anti-microbial activity.
