A few semicarbazone ligands and their Co(II), Cu(II),Pd(II) and Hg(II) complexes have been screened for antimicrobial activity against some Gram (+ve) and Gram(-ve) bacterial and fungal species. The metal complexes are found to have higher activity than the ligands. Further, the metal complexes exert differential activity against the organisms studied and the results obtained are discussed.
