Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis of bimetallic zinc thiosemicarbazone complexes with rigid aromatic linkers, using either 1, 3-or 1, 4-benzenediamines or 1, 3-or 1, 4- benzenedialdehydes as the basis of the linking groups. Non-rigid aliphatic diamines and dialdehydes were also used to link the zinc chelating units. Reaction of a bis (thiosemicarbazone) with a pendant NHNH2 group with monoaldehydes or ketones gives ...
