Abstract
The complexation between lanthanides metal ions like Ce(III), Eu(III), Nd(III) and La(III) with sulfasalazine (H(3)suz) produced 1:1 molar ratio ( metal : sulfasalazine) as a monodentate via OH group and give general formula: Na-2[M(Hsuz)(Cl)(3)(H2O)]center dot xH(2)O, where: M= Ce, Eu, Nd and La, x= 2 and 10. The resulted sulfasalazine compounds were assigned by Infrared, H-1-NMR and electronic spectra. Themogravimetric analysis and kinetic thermodynamic parameters have proved the thermal stability feature of sulfasalazine complexes. The anti-microbial activities of the lanthanides metal complexes of sulfasalazine recorded a significant effect against some bacteria and fungi.
