Copper diethyldithiocarbamate, cadmium diethyldithiocarbamate, lead diethyldithiocarbamate, nickel diethyldithiocarbamate and zinc diethyldithiocarbamate have been synthesized. They have been characterized using TG, DTA, IR spectroscopy, X-ray and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The thermal conversion of the compounds is 54.3688% at 1000?C. Their solubility in sodium hydroxide, mineral acids, organic solvents, distilled water and salts solution has been measured. Fungicidal activity of the dithiocarbamates has been tested by well or cup diffusion method using five fungi species. Their activity has also been tested by broth dilution method using six bacterial species. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (bactericidal) is 6.2525.00 mg mL1. Keywords: diethyldithiocarbamate, DTA, fungicide, IR, synthesis, TG, X-ray diffraction Introduction The plant protection has become necessary in order to increase the food production. Many organometallic compounds may have important biological activities. This work is continuation of our previous research on organometallic compounds including their thermal, spectral, structural and biological activities [114]. Among the commercially available current fungicides, the group of dithiocarbamate is of special interest. Zinc dithiocarbamate (zineb, ziram), manganese dithiocarbamate (maneb), iron dithiocarbamate (ferbam) are well known fungicides [15] which are used as protective fungicides [16] in grapes, cauliflower, potatoes, chillies, apples,
