Abstract
The reaction of zinc(II) chloride, cadmium(II) chloride and bromide with 3-thiophene aldehyde thiosemicarbazone leads to the formation of a series of new complexes. They have been characterized by spectroscopic studies: infrared, (1)H NMR, and electronic spectra. The crystal structures of the compound [ZnCl(2)(3TTSCH)(2)] and [CdBr(2)(3TTSCH)(2)] have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. For the complexes [ZnCl(2)(3TTSCH)(2)] and [CdBr(2)(3TTSCH)(2)], the central ion is coordinated through the sulfur, and for the complexes [CdCl(2)(3TTSCH)], [CdBr(2)(3TTSCH)] the ion is coordinated through the sulfur as well as azomethine nitrogen atom of the thiosemicarbazone. In addition, fungistatic and bacteriostatic activities of both ligand and complexes have been evaluated. Cadmium(II) complexes have shown the most significant activities.
