Synthesis, crystal structure and biological evaluation of a main group seven-coordinated bismuth (III) complex with 2-acetylpyridine N 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone
Up to now, bismuth (III) complexes with thiosemicarbazones have been comparatively rare. Here, a main group seven-coordinated bismuth (III) complex [Bi (L)(NO3) 2 (CH3CH2OH)](1)(HL= 2-acetylpyridine N (4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The cytotoxicity data suggest that 1 exhibits higher in vitro ...
