Abstract

Fungal infections pose a substantial risk to public health, especially for people with weakened immune systems. The emergence of antifungal resistance has made the treatment of fungal infections more complex, requiring the exploration of new antifungal drugs. Palladium (Pd) complexes have shown great potential as they possess distinct chemical properties and can effectively interfere with fungal growth by disrupting cellular surface and spore germination. This work investigates the possibility of iodide-bridged Pd(II) complex bearing tetrabutylammonium moiety; [(NnBu)4]2(Pd2I6) as a potential antifungal agent.
