G. Valli et al., Synthesis and biological activity of copper(II) mixed ligand complexes with thiophene-2-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone as the primary ligand, J INDIAN CH, 77(5), 2000, pp. 252-253
The complexing ability of thiophene-2-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone (L) has be
en investigated. Copper complexes of the type CuLL1 have been prepared, whe
re L-1 = saticylaldehyde/salicylaldoxime/salicylaldehyde semicarbazone/sali
cylaldehyde phenylhydrazone/salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone/8-hydroxyquin
oline/2-hydroxypyridine The complexes have a square - planar structure. The
antibacterial activities of these complexes have also been studied.
