A new thiourea derivative, (3-naphthalene-1-yl)-di-thiourea-ethylene has been synthesized by refluxing a mixture of ethylenediamine and 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate. The product was characterized by 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and FT-Infrared spectroscopic techniques. The molecular weight of the compound was determined by Mass Spectrometry. Preliminary binding study of the thiourea with metal cations shows good affinity towards Fe2+, Hg2+, Ag+, Cu2+.

The new thiourea derivative (3-naphthalene-1-yl)-di-thiourea-ethylene shows good affinity towards metal cations, with potential applications in catalysis, catalytic coatings, and catalytic coatings.
