摘要:
Pyridyl bis(N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones), in which the substituents replacing the NH2 group on the thiosemicarbazone moieties are piperidyl, H(2)P1pip; hexamethyleneiminyl, H(2)P1hexim; diethylamino, H(2)P14DE; and dipropylamino, H(2)P14DP, have been synthesized. These bis(thiosemicarbazones) and their nickel(II) complexes have been characterized with IR, electronic, mass, and H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra. Crystal structures have been solved for H(2)P1pip and all four nickel(II) complexes. H(2)P1pip does not possess hydrogen bonding between the thiosemicarbazone moieties, but is in the Z isomeric form with intramolecular hydrogen bonding from both thiosemicarbazone moieties to pyridine nitrogen atoms. The nickel(II) complexes possess square-planar N2S2 (i.e., imine nitrogen and thiolato sulfur atoms) centers and the two pyridine ring nitrogen atoms are not coordinated.
