The present article describes the synthesis and characterization of tetracoordinated boron (III) complexes with monobasic bidentate ligands ((LH)-H-1, (LH)-H-2, (LH)-H-3, (LH)-H-4, (LH)-H-5, and (LH)-H-6) having the general formulae PhB(L)(OH) and PhB(L)(2). The 1:1 and 1: 2 reactions of phenyl boronic acid with monobasic bidentate ligands resulted in the formation of colored solids. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determinations, and IR and NMR (H-1, C-13 and B-11) spectroscopy, as well as UV-vis spectral studies. Based on these studies, a tetrahedral geometry has been proposed for the resulting complexes. The ligands, along with their complexes, have been screened in vitro against a number of pathogenic fungal and bacterial strains. The studies indicate that the boron chelates are more potent than the parent ligands.
