Synthesis,Characterization, and Crystal Structure of the New Schiff‐Bases derived from 1,2,4‐Triazole and the Structure of [(PPh3)2Cu(AMTT)]NO3·EtOH (AMTT = 4‐Amino‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione)

The reactions of 4‐amino‐5‐methyl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3(4H)‐thione (AMTT, L1 ) with 2‐thiophen carbaldehyde, salicylaldehyde and 2‐nitrobenzaldehyde in methanol led to the corresponding Schiff‐bases ( L1a‐c ). The reaction of L1 with (PPh₃)₂Cu]NO₃ in ethanol gave the ionic complex (PPh₃)₂Cu(L1)]NO₃·EtOH ( 2 ) All compounds were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analyses as well as by X‐ray diffraction studies.
