A new series of Pd(II) macrocyclic complexes have been synthesized by template condensation of bis(benzil)4-chloro 1,2-phenylenediamine (ML1) and bis(benzil)4-fluro 1,2-phenylenediamine (ML2) respectively, with appropriate diamine i.e. 1,2-phenylenediamine, 4-chloro 1,2-phenylenediamine and 4-fluro 1,2-phenylenediamine in the presence of PdCl2 to form complexes of the type [Pd(C40H26N4ClF)]Cl2, [Pd(C40H27N4X)]Cl2 and [Pd(C40H26N4X2)]Cl2, where X = Cl, F. The complexes have been characterized with the help of elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, electronic spectra, conductance measurement, magnetic susceptibility, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray powder diffraction studies. On the basis of these studies a square planar geometry has been proposed around the metal ion. The newly synthesized ligands and their complexes have been screened for antimicrobial and pesticidal activities. The results obtained from bioassays indicate that this class of compounds can be utilized for the design of new substance with pesticidal activity and promising antimicrobial activity.
