The resulting 5-[(benzyloxy) methyl] quinolin-8-ol (BeMQ) was characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies. The transition metal chelates viz. Cu2+, Ni2+ , Co+2 , Mn2+ and Zn2+ of BeMQ and 8-quinolinols were prepared and characterized by mixed ligand complexes(L:M:L) ratio, elemental analysis, IR, reflectance spectral studies, magnetic properties and conductivities measurements. The antifungal activity of BeMQ and its metal chelates was investigated against various fungi. The metal complexes exhibit good activity against fungal strains compared with parental compounds.
