摘要:
Reduction of cyanopyrazine by sodium in dry methanol in the presence of N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazide produces pyrazineformamide N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone, HPzAm4M. Electrochemical synthesis in acetonitrile produced [Zn(PzAm(4)M)(2)](.)2CH(3)CN and (.)[Cd(PzAm4M)(2)](.)0.5CH(3)CN. The crystal Structures of HPzAm4M and the two complexes have been obtained. Coordination of anionic PzAm4M in the two complexes is via the pyridyl nitrogen, imine nitrogen and thiolato sulfur and the ligands are in a meridional arrangement with the imine nitrogens trans. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are an important property of HPzAm4M and its complexes. Both pyrazine nitrogens are involved in hydrogen-bonding in HPzAm4M, and the non-coordinated pyrazine nitrogen is involved in both complexes. HPzAm4M and the coordinated PzAm4M ligands are quite planar. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
