Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization of thiosemicarbazone complexes of nickel(II) and X-ray structures of anisaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (ATSZH) and bis(tolualdehyde thiosemicarbazonato)nickel(II)

Complexes of nickel(II) with anisaldehyde (ATSZH), tolualdehyde (TTSZH), and vanillin (VTSZH) thiosemicarbazones have been synthesized and characterized by means of UV-Visible, I.R., Raman,¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The thiosemicarbazones have been found to exist in the thione form.¹H and¹³C NMR as well as electronic spectral data support a square planar structure for Ni(ATSZ)₂ and Ni(TTSZ)₂ complexes.¹H and¹³C NMR spectra indicate that the structure of Ni(VTSZ)₂ complex differs from the other two nickel(II) complexes and it may possibly consist of mixtures of isomers. The X-ray structures of Ni(TTSZ)₂ and ATSZH were determined: the nickel complex is monoclinic witha=26.412(6),b=12.135(3),c=6.888(1)Å,=95.41(5)°,Z=4,R=0.0647, space groupC2/c. The structure consists of discrete Ni(TTSZ)₂ molecules in which the metal, located on a symmetry centre, is N,S-chelated by two ligands forming two five-term chelate rings. The structure of ATSZH is also monoclinic:a=7.859(1),b=13.481(3),c=10.028(3) Å,=106.32(4)°,Z=4,R=0.0412, space groupP2₁/c. The molecules, connected by NO hydrogen bonds, reveal a considerable tilting of the aromatic ring in respect to the thiourea moiety if compared with the nickel structure.
