Spectroscopic, electrochemical and antifungal studies of transition metal complexes with macrocycles containing nitrogen and sulphur donor atoms

Abstract

Biologically relevant and electrochemically important macrocyclic thioureas viz. 1,8,10,17-tetra-azacyclo-octadecane-9,18-dithione (L), 1,10,12,21-tetra-azacyclodoeico-sane-11,22-dithione (L′) and their smallest analogue imidazolidine-2-thione (L″) have been synthesized and complexed with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and platinum (IV) chlorides. The polymeric complexes [except copper(II) with L″] thus synthesized were characterized by their elemental analyses, conductance, magnetic moments, IR, UV-Vis, NMR, ESR and mass spectra along with powder X-ray diffraction studies. © 1992.
