This book highlighted the methods used for the syntheses of thiosemicarbazides. These new thiosemicarbazides and their metal complexes which have not been described in the literature previously were synthesized and investigated using different analytical and spectroscopic techniques and antibacterial properties. The thiosemicarbazide ligands and their metal complexes have been isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral studies. The antimicrobial and antifungal activities of ligands and their metal complexes have also been evaluated
