Dx. West et al., A SPECTRAL STUDY OF 2-FORMYLIMIDAZOLE 4N-SUBSTITUTED THIOSEMICARBAZONES AND THEIR COPPER(II) COMPLEXES, Spectrochimica acta. Part A: Molecular spectroscopy, 49(12), 1993, pp. 1809-1816
Copper(II) complexes of 2-formylimidazole 4N-methyl-, 4N-dimethyl-, 4N
-ethyl-and 3-hexamethyleneiminylthiosemicarbazone, along with two nick
el(II) complexes of the latter thiosemicarbazone, have been synthesize
d. Infrared, electronic, NMR and ESR spectra have been used to charact
erize the complexes and the uncomplexed thiosemicarbazones. None of th
e complexes or thiosemicarbazones possess growth inhibitory activity a
gainst Aspergillus niger and Paecilomyces variotii.
