DIVALENT MANGANESE AND PALLADIUM COMPLEXES OF THE PHENYLMETHYL ESTER OF HYDRAZINECARBODITHIOIC ACID

MnII and PdII complexes of o-FC6H4C(H)NNC(SH)SCH2Ph (L1H) and o-FC6H4C(Me)NNC(SH)SCH2Ph (L2H) have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic means. The complexes are of the types [MnCl(L)H2O], [Mn(L)2], [Pd(L)2]Cl2 and [Pd(L)2]. Spectral data suggest that the ligands coordinate in a monobasic bidentate fashion through the S and N atoms. L2H and its complexes were found to exhibit antimicrobial properties.
