A new series of some biologically active Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes was synthesized from the reaction of Ethyl 6-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-cyano-2-methyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxylate (L) with the previous biological metals in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate (Phen). The structures of the obtained L along with their complexes were authenticated by different analytical and spectral techniques. The data prove that L chelates with all metal ions as bidentate through the nitrogen of the amino group and the nitrogen of the cyano group. Furthermore, Phen chelated with metal ions via two nitrogen atoms. The molar conductance values reflect that all complexes are electrolyte, confirming the 1:3 electrolytic natures for trivalent metal ions and 1:2 electrolytic for bivalent metal ions. The thermal stability and the general thermal decomposition pathways of metal complexes, L, and Phen were evaluating according to the thermogravimetric technique. The activation thermodynamic parameters were estimated from TG curves by utilizing Horowitz–Metzger (HM) and Coats–Redfern (CR) techniques. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis proved that L, Cu(II), and Zn(II) compounds have a crystalline nature, whereas, Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes are semicrystalline. The investigated compounds were examined in vitro for their antimicrobial activity towards G(+ve) Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and G(−ve) Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, and two fungi: Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. According to the findings, the Co(II) complex has a significant efficiency toward bacteria, additionally, Cr(III) complex is highly significant towards fungal strains.
