摘要

A novel chelating agent (Sqtsc; H(4)L) bearing both hard and soft donor atoms was synthesized by the condensation of squaric acid with thiosemicarbazide. The ligand has two symmetrical sets of donor atoms (SNO), therefore, it was allowed to react with the metal ions at the mole ratio 2:1 (M:L). Mono- and bi-nuclear chelates were obtained in which the ligand showed a variety of modes of bonding viz. (OO)(2-), (SNNS)(2-) and (SNO)(2-) per each metal ion supporting the ambidentate and flexidentate characters of the ligand. The mode of bonding and basicity of the ligand depend mainly on the type of the metal cation and its counter anion. All the obtained complexes have the preferable O(h)-geometry except the VO(II)-complex (7) which has also the preferable square pyramid geometry. Structural elucidation was achieved via elemental and spectral data.Copyright © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
