Kambafwile 2 Department of Chemistry, University of Namibia, Private Bag 133 01 (Namibia) Department of Chemistry, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701 (South Africa) Transition metal complexes derived from biologically active ligands and selected metal ions have been synthesized. They were characterized by microanalysis, Fourier Transform infrared (FT-IR), proton NMR (1HNMR) and Low Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LRMS) techniques. The paramagnetic shift influence observed in some of the complexes is qualitatively discussed. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol5no1/the-synthesis-and-characterization-of-new-metal-complexes-from-biologically-active-thiosemicarbazone-ligands-bound-to-metal-ions/ Transition metal complexes; Microanalysis; FTIR; HNMR; LRMS
