Abstrakt: [MoV2 O2S2]2+-based thiosemicarbazone complexes appear as very promising molecules for biological applications due to the intrinsic properties of their components. This paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of six coordination complexes obtained by the reaction of [MoV2 O2S2]2+ clusters with bisthiosemicarbazone ligands that contain flexible or rigid spacers between the two thiosemicarbazone units. Interestingly, structural characterization by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, MALDI-TOF MS technique and NMR spectroscopy revealed that the nuclearity of the complex is controlled by the nature of the spacer between the thiosemicarbazone units. Binuclear complexes, namely [MoV2 O2S2(L1-3)], are isolated with flexible spacers while tetranuclear complexes [(MoV² O2S2)2(L4-6)2] are formed when the bisthiosemicarbazone ligands are built on rigid spacers.
