Nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of methyl(2-aminocyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxy)-S-acetate (ACDASAMe)

摘要

Nickel(II) and cobalt(II) bis-chelates of methyl(2-aminocyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxy)-S-acetate (ACDASAMe) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and in the case of the nickel complex, X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The ligand exhibits the (N, S) coordination mode on interacting with the metal centers. The X-ray structure of the nickel(II) complex reveals a NiN2S2 distorted square planar coordination geometry with the ligands showing a cis configuration. There is no interaction between the -CH2COOMe moieties of the ligand and the metal center, however intermolecular hydrogen bonds through the carbonyl group leads to the building of dimeric associations.
