Abstract/Summary

Reaction of the 4-R-benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones (denoted in general as L-R; R = OCH(3), CH(3), H, Cl and NO(2)) with trans-[Pd(PPh(3))(2)Cl(2)] afforded a group of mixed-ligand complexes (denoted in general as 1-R) incorporating a N,S-coordinated thiosemicarbazone. a triphenylphosphine and a chloride. Similar reaction with Na(2)[PdCl(4)] afforded a family of bis-thiosemicarbazone complexes (denoted in general as 2-R), where each ligand is N,S-coordinated. Crystal structures of 1-CH(3), 1-NO(2), 2-OCH(3), 2-NO(2) and L-NO(2) have been determined. In all the complexes the thiosemicarbazones are coordinated to the metal center, via dissociation of the acidic proton, as bidentate N,S-donors forming five-membered chelate rings. With reference to the structure of the uncoordinated thiosemicarbazone, this coordination mode is associated with a conformational change around the C=N bond. All the 1-R and 2-R complexes display intense absorptions in the visible region. Catalytic activity of the 1-R and 2-R complexes towards some C-C coupling reactions (e.g. Suzuki, Heck and Sonogashira) has been examined and while both are found to be efficient catalysts, 1-R is much better catalyst than 2-R.
