Synthesis, characterization and spectroscopic studies of a new ligand [N′-(2-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazinecarbodithioate] ethyl ester and its Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes: X-ray structural study of Mn(II) complex

Abstract

A new dithioligand [N′-(2-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazinecarbodithioate] ethyl ester (H2mbhce, 1) formed complexes [M(Hmbhce)2]n {M = Mn(II), Cd(II)} which have been characterized with the help of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, UV-Vis, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectrometry. [Mn(Hmbhce)2]n (2) crystallized in monoclinic system with space group P21/n. In the polymeric structure of 2, the ligand acts as an uninegative tridentate N(1), O(1), S(3) donor and forms a five membered chelate ring with N(1), C(2) and O(1). The intermediate bond lengths (between single and double bond distances) O(1)-C(2) = 1.241(3), N(2)-C(2) = 1.325(3), N(1)-N(2) = 1.393(2), N(1)-C(8) = 1.311(3) Ǻ and C(8)-S(3) = 1.704(2) Å suggest considerable delocalization of charge which develops slightly aromatic character in the chelate ring. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
