Abstract

Complex iron(III) salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone with a formula Na[Fe(STSC)2] have been synthesized. Ligand, salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (SCT) was prepared through the condensation reaction of salycilaldehide with thiosemicarbazide. Na[Fe(STSC)2] has been synthesized by reacting FeCl3 with thiosemicarbazide based ligand bearing ONS donor atoms. Complex has been formulated and characterized by mass spectrometry, infrared and UV/visible spectroscopy. The facts showed the formation of a complex in metal:ligand stoichiometric ratio 1:2. The ligand is coordinated as an ONS tridentate dianion via oxygen atom after the deprotonation of the phenolic OH-group, azomethine nitrogen and sulphur in thiol form of the deprotonated thiosemicarbazide residue. Antioxidant activity was determined, where ligand showed significant activity, while complex, at low concentration, exhibited almost no activity.
