N,N’-Bis(2-mercaptophenyl)propane-1,3-diamine as a new organic ligand of the N2S2 type and its coordination compound with nickel(II)

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of new tetradentate organic ligand of the N2S2 type, viz., N,N’-bis-(2-mercaptophenyl)propane-1,3-diamine has been developed, starting from 2-( tert-butyl-thio)aniline and malonyl dichloride. Coordination compound of this ligand with NiII according to the X-ray diffraction data has a square-planar geometry of the metal ion coordination sphere.
