New complexes of N-2-[3-methylpyridyl]-N′-phenylthiourea (HMPyPT) have been prepared from NiII, CuII, ZnII, PdII, PtIV and AuIII chlorides. Three types, containing 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 metal–ligand ratios, were isolated and characterized. In every case the ligand behaves in a monodentate manner coordinating via the pyridyl nitrogen. Attempts to isolate complexes containing the deprotonated ligand by raising the pH of the reaction mixture from 1.6–5.5 to 8.5 were unsuccessful. The bonding modes and the stereochemistry of the metal complexes have been determined from spectral (i.r., u.v.–vis., 1H-n.m.r.) and magnetic measurements. The results suggest a square-planar structure for the PdII and AuIII complexes, but octahedral geometry for the other metal complexes. Thermal analysis (d.t.a., t.g.a.) measurements on the solid complexes have also been conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
