Spectral and thermal studies of divalent transition metal complexes with indole-2-carboxylic acid and 4-substituted hydrazinethiocarbamide

Ternary complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with indole-2-carboxylic acid (A) and 4-substituted hydrazinethiocarbamide (L) [4-phenylhydrazinethiocarbamide (L1), 4-benzylhydrazinethiocarbamide (L2) and 4-(2-propenyl)hydrazinethiocarbamide (L3)] were prepared. The structures of the complexes were proposed by molar conductance, electronic, IR, 1H NMR, mass spectra as well as thermogravimetric (TG) studies. An octahedral structure is suggested for Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ternary complexes.
