Reactions of Co(II) acetate with 1-benzoyl-(3-methyl-3-R)thiourea (R = ethyl, propyl, cyclohexyl and phenyl) and 1-benzoyl-(3-ethyl-3-benzyl)thiourea ligands, herein refer to as 1-benzoyl-(3,3-disubstituted)thiourea, derived from secondary alkyl-and arylamines gave [tris(1-benzoyl-(3,3-disubstituted)thiourea)cobalt(III)] complexes. The neutral cobalt(III) complexes were afforded through a one-pot reaction between a deprotonated 1-benzoyl-(3,3disubstituted)thiourea ligands with cobalt(II) acetate with a 1:3 ratio in methanol. These complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility measurement, X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic techniques namely infrared, UV-Vis and nuclear magnetic resonance. Based on the magnetic susceptibility and spectroscopic data as well as X-ray crystallographic structure of the octahedron [tris(1-benzoyl-(3-methyl-3-phenyl)thiourea)cobalt(III)] complex, it can be concluded that the ligands behave as bidentate O,S chelate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
