Bis( N , N ‐dialkyldithiocarbamato)arsenic(III)/antimony(III) diphenyldithiophosphate/diphenyldi‐thiophosphinate complexes of the type [R 2 NCS 2 ] 2 MS(S)PX 2 [where M = As and Sb; NR 2 = N(CH 3 ) 2 , N(C 2 H 5 ) 2 and N(CH 2 ) 4 ; X = OC 6 H 5 and C 6 H 5 ] have been synthesized and characterized by physico‐chemical, spectral [UV, IR and NMR ( 1 H, 13 C and 31 P)] and thermal (TG, DTA and DSC) analysis. The TG analysis shows single‐step decomposition of the complex to Sb 2 S 3 . These complexes have been screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity using the disc diffusion method. All the complexes have shown good activity as antibacterial and antifungal agents, which increased on increasing the concentration. Chloroamphenicol and terbinafin were used as standards for the comparison. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
