Synthesis, spectral characterization, DFT and in vitro antibacterial activity of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes derived from a new thiosemicarbazide
Abstract:A new series of mono-nuclear complexes, Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ and Hg 2+ derived from 4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-Nphenylcyclohexanecarbothioamide (HDDPT) have been prepared and characterized. The complexes adopted the molecular formulae; [Hg(DDPT)Cl(H 2 O)], [Cd (HDDPT) 2 Cl 2 ] and [Zn (HDDPT) 2 Cl 2 ], respectively. IR data showed that HDDPT ligand acts as OS bidentate either in neutral form as in Cd 2+ , Zn 2+ complexes or mononegative chelate in Hg 2+ complex. An octahedral environment was suggested for Zn 2+ and Cd 2+… Show more
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.
