Synthesis, spectral characterization, magnetic, thermal and molecular docking studies of new thiosemicarbazone-based Schiff base ligands derived from Benzil and Benzoin, and Their Co (II) and Ni (II) Complexes
Two new thiosemicarbazone-type Schiff base ligands, [L1] and [L2], were synthesized in high purity by refluxing (7 h, 70–75 °C, glacial acetic acid catalyst) an ethanolic solution of N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide with benzil and benzoin, respectively, and were subsequently reacted with hydrated CoCl2 and NiCl2 (2:1 l...
