Coordinative trends of a tridentate thiosemicarbazone ligand: synthesis, characterization, luminescence studies and desulfurization processes.
The coordinative chemistry of the tridentate thiosemicarbazone ligand 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde 4-N-ethylthiosemicarbazone (HL(Et)) has been explored by using an electrochemical methodology. All the complexes have been characterized using analytical and spectroscopic techniques. In the case of copper we have isolated two different complexes, with Cu(L(Et))(2).4H(2)O (6) and [Cu(2)(L(Et))(2)(SO(4))] (7) formulae. The sulfate group coordinated to the copper atoms in was probably released to the media as a consequence of a desulfurization process. Single X-ray crystallography has been carried out for the ligand HL(Et) and the complexes , [Ag(6)(L(Et))(6)].CH(3)CN (9) and [Pb(L(Et))(2)] (2). The copper(ii) complex is a dimer compound in which two antiparallel monodeprotonated ligands are coordinated to two copper centres by establishment of mu(2)-thiolate bridges and the additional coordination of a sulfate group bridging the two metal atoms. The silver complex is an unusual hexanuclear cluster compound with a wheel-type conformation, while the lead complex is a monomer which exhibits the lone pair effect. A structural comparative study of the electrochemically obtained complexes derived from HL(X) ligands (X= Me, Et and Ph) have been performed. Finally, the solution behaviour of the complexes was checked by NMR, UV and fluorescence studies.
