Abstract
Bis-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene) dihydrazone of succinic acid dihydrazide was synthesized and its analogue-reduced azomethine bond. The complexes of Mn (II) and Fe (II) with these ligands were obtained. Based on the data of IR-, electron spectroscopy and elemental analysis, of the obtained complexes is assumed the binuclear structure. The possibility of catalytic reduction of the azomethine bond with NaBH4 to the corresponding succinic acid bis- (2-hydroxybenzyl) succinic dihydrazide was shown. It was found that all obtained compounds have high bactericidal and fungicidal activities.
