Structural and spectral studies of nickel(II) complexes with N(4),N(4)-(butane-1,4-diyl) thiosemicarbazones

Nickel(II) complexes of quinoline-2-carbaldehyde N(4),N(4)-(butane-1,4-diyl) thiosemicarbazone (HL1) and 2-benzoylpyridine N(4),N(4)-(butane-1,4-diyl) thiosemicarbazone (HL2) have been synthesized and physico-chemically characterized by means of partial elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic measurements, electronic and infrared spectral studies. Three complexes were given the formulae [Ni(HL1)2]Cl2 (1), [Ni(HL2)L2]ClO4 · 7H2O (2) and [NiL2Cl] · 0.5H2O (3). The structure of compound 1 has been solved by single crystal X-ray crystallography and is found to be distorted octahedral. Compound 2, when crystallized in DMSO solution, got deprotonated to form a new compound [Ni(L2)2] (2a), with a distorted octahedral Ni(II) center. In compound 1, HL1 coordinates to the metal in the thione form, while in compounds 2a and 3, HL2 coordinates in its deprotonated thiolate form.
