Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of three zinc(II) complexes [Zn(34-MBTSC)2Cl2] (1), [Zn(34-MBTSC)2Br2] (2), and [Zn(34-MBTSC)2I2] (3) of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (34-MBTSC) are reported. Elemental analysis (CHN) and spectral (FT-IR and 1H-NMR) measurements have been used to characterize the complexes. In addition, the structure of the complex 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. In these complexes, the zinc(II) ion is bonded to two thioketonic sulfur donors in η1-S bonding mode and to two halide ions in tetrahedral geometry.
