The mixed-ligand complexes of various metal(II) with 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (Clioquinol) and 5-(methoxymethyl-8-quinolinol) (MMQ) were prepared. The structure of mixed-ligand complexes was investigated using spectral, physicochemical, elemental analyses and thermal studies. Magnetic moment and reflectance spectral studies reveal that an octahedral geometry has been assigned to all the prepared complexes. The ligands, metal salts, complexes, control and standard drug were tested for their in-vitro antifungal. The metal complexes exhibit good activity against fungal strains compared with parental compounds and moderate compared with the standard drug (Clioquinol).
