Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (NaEt2dtc·3H2O) and sodium piperidine dithiocarbamate monohydrate (NaPidtc·H2O) reacted with thallium(I) carbonate to produce the complexes [Tl2(Et2dtc)2] C1 and [Tl2(Pidtc)2] C2. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the complexes elucidated their triclinic P-1 and monoclinic P21/n space groups, respectively, in addition to chelation via SS atoms from the uninegative ligands. Further, this analysis revealed the complexes' assembly as one-dimensional polymers of dimeric building blocks. The complexes (50 µg/ml) caused greater growth inhibitions in two pathogenic yeasts comparing with the ligand salts and cycloheximide. The ligand salts, respectively, inhibited R. glutinis with 15.02 and 15.14 % and C. tropicalis with 11.09 and 11.45 %, while cycloheximide, C1 and C2 offered inhibitions with 26.16, 38.9 and 46.4 % in R. glutinis and 13.4, 29.8 and 38.9 % in C. tropicalis, respectively. Further, the thallium complexes significantly affected the yeasts' soluble proteins {cycloheximide, C1 and C2 afforded 7.06 ± 0.05, 6.11 ± 0.08 and 5.43 ± 0.05 mg/g fresh weight (for R. glutinis) and 7.67 ± 0.15, 7.26 ± 0.06 and 6.025 ± 0.14 mg/g fresh weight (for C. tropicalis)} and total antioxidants {cycloheximide, C1 and C2 afforded 10.15 ± 0.21, 11.27 ± 0.16 and 14.97 ± 1.3 mg/g protein (for R. glutinis) and 19.4 ± 0.65, 16.0 ± 0.24 and 17.19 ± 0.55 mg/g protein (for C. tropicalis)} in addition to the catalase and peroxidase enzyme activities.
