Abstract
Abstract The ligand 4-phenyl(2-methoxybenzoyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide (Hpmt), forms isostructural [Mn(pmt)2(o-phen)] (1) and [Zn(pmt)2(o-phen)] (2) complexes containing o-phen as coligand which have been characterized by analytical, spectroscopic (IR, UV–Vis, NMR), magnetic susceptibility, TGA and single crystal X-ray data. Both complexes crystallize in monoclinic systems with the space group P2/n. The complexes have distorted octahedral geometry around the metal center. The ligand in the complexes is coordinated through the deprotonated hydrazinic nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen. The hydrazinic nitrogen coordinates with a shorter M–N distance than the o-phen nitrogen and bond lengths in the chelate ring systems are intermediate between single and double bond distances, suggesting considerable delocalization of charge. There is a good agreement between the geometrical parameters obtained by X-ray crystallography to those generated by DFT method. The thermal degradations of complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated by thermogravimetric analyses which indicate that the final residues left are Mn(NCO)2 and Zn(NCSNH)2. The small HOMO–LUMO energy gap suggests low excitation energy for the complexes.
