“…There are a variety of motivations for investigating metal complexes of benzoylthiourea derivatives such as for catalytic applications and for anion recognition (Zhang & Schreiner, 2009;Guna-sekaran, Jerome et al, 2012;Nishikawa, 2018). Over and above these considerations, there are continuing investigations into their biological potential, such as anti-microbial (Gemili et al, 2017;Binzet et al, 2018;Saeed et al, 2018), anti-cancer (Peng et al, 2016;Barolli et al, 2017;Jeyalakshmi et al, 2019) and anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis (Plutín et al, 2016) agents. In a continuation of our on-going work on these molecules and their metal complexes Gunasekaran et al, 2017;Tan, Azizan et al, 2019), we now describe the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and X-ray crystallographic investigation of (I).…”
