Abstract
A new ligand, 1,1′-diacetylferrocene-bis(4-phenylthiosemicarbazone) (H2Dafpt) and some of its transition metal(II) complexes have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, electronic spectra, molar conductivities, magnetic moments and thermal analyses. Dafpt2− coordinates to the metal ion with two thio-enol groups and acts as a tetradentate.
