Complexes 1-9 were prepared by the reaction of [(arene)MCl2](2) (arene = p-cymene, Cp*; M = Ru, Rh and Ir) with thiourea derivative ligands L1, L2 and L3. These complexes have been isolated as cationic bidentate (N, S), neutral bidentate (N, S) as well as neutral mono-dentate (S) complexes. Anti-bacterial activity studies were carried out for these complexes as well as the ligands against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli; Klebsiella pneumoniae) in which all the complexes (except complexes 2 and 6) as well as the ligands (except L3) showed antibacterial activity. In addition to the biological studies, colorimetric sensing study using silver nanoparticles was also carried out where, ligands L1 and L3 showed agglomeration effects. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
