− ligand is replaced by two monodentate ligands that occupy axial positions. All compounds were characterized on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, conductometric and magnetochemical data. The crystal structure of cis-CdL C (NO 3 )](NO 3 ) was determined by X-ray crystallography and showed the cadmium centre to exist within a cis-N 4 O 2 donor set that defined a distorted octahedral geometry. Non-systematic variations in the Cd-O and Cd-N bond distances were correlated with significant hydrogen bonding interactions operating in the crystal structure. The latter interactions led to the formation of supramolecular two-dimensional arrays. The anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activities of these compounds were studied against some phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. Coordination of L C by cadmium resulted in more effective anti-microbial agents; no significant dependence upon the nature of the counter-ion was detected. Copyright
