Abstract
A series of Cu(II) complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]-nonene-3-thiocarboxylic acid 2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazide(HL) and the corresponding N-oxide (HLO) have been prepared and characterized. Both ligands undergo deprotonation and appear to coordinate via the thione sulfur, the imine nitrogen and the pyridyl nitrogen (or N-oxide oxygen). A single anionic ligand such as Cl −, Br −, NCS − and N − 3 completes the bonding to the Cu(II) center of these 4-coordinate complexes. When the complexes are prepared using Cu(II) perchlorate, the solids isolated contain a neutral thiosemicarbazone ligand as well as the deprotonated ligand. The solids are primarily characterized by IR, electronic and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. In addition, electronic and ESR spectra of their chloroform solutions were recorded. Most of the solids (except the nitrates) were unaltered upon dissolution. Simulation of the solution ESR spectra was used to estimate the coupling constants of the various coordinated nuclei.
