A series of palladium(II) complexes involving C-H and N-H bond activations of the R-1 rings of thiosemicarbazones R-1(R-2)C-2-N-3-N-2(H)-C-1(=S)-(NHR3)-H-1; R-1, R-2: thiopheneyl, Me, H2L1 (R-3 = Me), H2L2 (R-3 = Ph); R-1, R-2: Ph, Me, H2L3 (R-3 = Me), H2L4 (R-3 = Ph); R-1, R-2: Ph, Ph, H2L5 (R-3 = Me), H2L6 (R-3 = Ph) and R-1, R-2: pyrrole, Me, H2L7 (R-3 = Me), H2L8 (R-3 = Ph)} are described. Methyl group (R-2) at C-2 carbon in H2L1 and H2L2 induced C-H bond activation of the thiopheneyl ring and formed cyclometallated complexes, [Pd(kappa(3)-C-4,N-3,S-L)(PPh3)] (L - L-1, 1; L-2, 2). Similarly, phenyl rings (R-1) in H2L3, H2L4, H2L5, H2L6 at C-2 carbon have shown C-H activations forming cyclometallated complexes, [Pd(kappa(3)-C-4,N-3, S-L)(PPh3)] (L = L-3, 3; L-4, 4; L-5, 5; L-6, 6). However, pyrrole ring did not exhibit similar C-H activation behavior, rather involved N-H activation and formed complexes, [Pd(kappa(3)-N-4,N-3, S-L)(PPh3)] L = L-7, 7; L-8, 8}. All these complexes have been characterized with the help of analytical data, spectroscopic techniques (IR, H-1 and P-31 NMR), and single crystal X-ray crystallography (1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8). The thiosemicarbazone ligands behave as dinegative C-4, N-3, S-chelating in 1-6 and N-4, N-3, S-chelating in complexes 7 and 8. Interestingly, complexes 2, 4 and 8, with phenyl substituent at N-1 atom, have two independent molecules in their respective crystal lattices. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
