Abstract
Metal complexes of a new thiosemicarbazone derived from 3-acetylumbellifero ne (HL) have been prepared and characterized. The complexes have the genera l formula ML2 . nH(2)O where M-II = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn; n = 0 and 2. The lig and and its complexes have been studied for their possible antitumour activ ity against HL-60 human leukemia in vitro.
