title: Synthesis, spectral and antibacterial studies of binuclear titanium(IV) / zirconium(IV) complexes of piperazine dithiosemicarbazones.
abstract: The reactions of mono(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) trichloride and bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV)/ zirconium(IV) dichloride with a new class of dithiosemicarbazone, derived by condensing piperazine dithiosemicarbazide with benzaldehyde (L(1)H(2)), 2-chlorobenzaldehyde (L(2)H(2)), 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (L(3)H(2)) or salicylaldehyde (L(4)H(4)) have been studied and different types of binuclear products, viz. [{CpTiCl(2)}(2)L], [{Cp(2)MCl}(2)L], ((L=L(1), L(2) or L(3)), [{CpTiCI}(2)L(4)] and [{Cp(2)M}(2)L(4)] (M=Yi or Zr), have been isolated. Tentative structures are proposed for these complexes based upon elemental analyses, electrical conductance, magnetic moment and spectral (electronic, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR) data. Attempts have been made to establish a correlation between antibacterial activity and the structures of the products.
