Pd(II) and Zn(II) Complexes with 9-Anthraldehyde 3-tetramethyleneiminylthiosemicarbazone

Abstract

Two Pd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with an anthracene-based thiosemicarbazone (H-5cATSC) have been conveniently prepared. Reaction of the ligand with relevant metal precusors yields the complexes Pd-5cATSC and Zn-5cATSC which have been then structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The results reveals that the complexes are of mononuclear structure and adopts square-planar and tetrahedral geometries around the central metal ions.
