Synthesis, And Physico-Chemical and Biological Charaterization of New Schiff Bases Derived From Thiophene and Their Transition Metal Complexes

TL;DRAbstract

Several new Schiff bases formed from S-benzyldithiocarbazate (SBDTC) and S- methyldithiocarbazate (SMDTC) with selected aldehyde/ketones containing a thiophene ring namely, 1-(2-thienyl)-1-propanone and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde in 95 % of ethanol have been synthesized. Complexes of Cobalt(III), Nickel(II), Copper(II), Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) with these Schiff bases were prepared. These compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and various physico-chemical techniques. Their thermal behaviour was also investigated. Single crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on nine single crystals. The Co(III) complexes are six-coordinated whereas, Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes are four-coordinated. Unfortunately, none of the Cu(II) complexes produced single crystals but, it is proposed, that they are also four-coordinated. The Schiff bases and their metal complexes were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities. Cytotoxic screening was carried out against Human ovaria
