Abstract

Abstract The synthesis, characterization, and biological studies of ruthenium (III) complexes containing ONS/ONO tridentate ligands are reported. Reactions of 1, 2-naphthoquinone N- substituted thiosemicarbazone/semicarbazone (HL n; n= 1–4) with [RuCl 3 (EPh 3) 3](E= P or As) gave [RuCl 2 (EPh 3)(L n)], which were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurement, ESR spectra, ESI–MS, electrochemical ...
