Abstract
Four tridentate ONS ligands, namely 2-hydroxyacetophenonethiosemicarbazone (H2L1), the 2-hydroxyacetophenone Schiff base of S-methyldithiocarbazate (H2L2), the 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde Schiff base of S-methyldithiocarbazate (H2L3), and the 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde Schiff base of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (H2L4), and their complexes of general formula [Ni(HL1)2], [ML] (M = NiII or CuII; L = L1, L2, L3 and L4), [Co(HL)(L); L = L1, L2, L3 and L4] and [ML(B)] (M = NiII or CuII; L = L2 and L4; B = py, PPh3) have been prepared and characterized by physico-chemical techniques. Spectroscopic evidence indicates that the Schiff bases behave as ONS tridentate chelating agents. X-ray crystallographic structure determination of [NiL2(PPh3)] and [CuL4(py)] indicates that these complexes have an approximately square-planar structure with the Schiff bases acting as dinegatively charged ONS tridentate ligands coordinating via the phenoxide oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and thiolate sulfur atoms. The electrochemical properties of the complexes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry.
