The Microwave irradiation method was found remarkably successful and gave higher yield at less reaction time. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized by running their TLC for single spot, repeated melting point determinations, elemental analyses, IR, 1H-NMR and electronic spectral studies. The elemental analyses and spectral analysis results revealed their Metal: Ligand (1:1) stoichiometry. All the synthesized compounds have been screened in vitro for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and also for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Key words: Synthesis, Microwave irradiation, Spectral, Antibacterial, Antifungal.
