Complexes of Zinc(II) and Manganese(II) with Thiosemicarbazide and Thiosemicarbazones

Department of Chemistry, Regional Engineering College, Rourkela·769008

A series of complexes of the type [MLX₂]; [ML₂X₂] and [ML₂] x '₂ (X=CI^- or Br^-, X'= CIO\(CIO^-_4\)) of Zinc( II) and Manganese(Il) with thiosemicarbazones or thiosemicarbazones of acetone or benzaldehyde (L) were prepared. These compounds were characterised and possible stereochemistry was deduced on the basis of analytical data, infrared spectra, conductivity and room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The compounds were found to exhibit coordination number four or six with tetrahedral or octahedral configurations, respectively.
