“…Their diverse biological activity possibly arises from the presence of the NCS moiety in the molecule (Oruç et al, 2004). An interesting feature of the metal-ligand chemistry of these compounds is that the complexes can be either mononuclear (Tzeng et al, 2004;Varna et al, 2018;Qiu et al, 2014) or binuclear (Deckert et al, 2016;Ardan et al, 2017). A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD Version 5.4, update of February 2019; Groom et al, 2016) revealed that although crystal structures have been reported for complexes of either 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives or OAc with a number of metal ions, including zinc, copper, nickel, manganese, cadmium, cobalt and palladium, no examples are known of mixed-ligand metal complexes containing both 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives and OAc.…”
