Abstract: | Platinum(IV) and palladium(II) complexes Pt(L)2Cl2] and Pd(L)Cl2], where, L?=?1,1-diphenyl-2-thiosemicarbazide (L1) and (1,1-diphenyl-2-thio)-1,3-propanediamine (L2) have been synthesized. The thiosemicarbazides and thiodiamines exist as the thione-thiol tautomer and coordinate as a bidentate N-S ligand. The ligands are monobasic bidentate. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, mass, electronic and 1H NMR spectroscopic studies. In vitro antibacterial studies have also been carried out for some complexes. |
