Four mononuclear complexes (H3O){[NiL3](ClO4)3} (1), [CoL3](ClO4)2·2H2O (2), [CdL2Cl2] (3) and [CuL3](NO3)2 (4) have been prepared employing a newly synthesized 1,2,4-triazole ligand: 3-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (L). The structures of the complexes, which crystallized in P63/m (1), P-1 (2), P1 (3), and P21/c (4), are reviewed within the context of the cooperative effect of the hydrogen bonding network and counter anions on the supramolecular formations. Moreover, within the framework of biological activity examination, these compounds showed favorable antibacterial performances compared to those of various species of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Significant antifungal inhibitory activity towards Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis fungi was recorded for 3 and 4 over the ligand L.
