Journal ArticleDOI
Thiosemicarbazone complexes of copper(II): structural and biological studies
Douglas X. West,Anthony E. Liberta,Subhash Padhye,Rajeev C. Chikate,Pramila Sonawane,Avinash S. Kumbhar,Ratnamala Yerande +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the biological importance of copper thiosemicarbazone complexes and their applications in the field of chemical engineering, such as chemical synthesis, chemical engineering and electrical engineering.
Book ChapterDOI
Structural and physical correlations in the biological properties of transition metal heterocyclic thiosemicarbazone and S -alkyldithiocarbazate complexes
TL;DR: The nature of metal complexes of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones reported in the literature through 1989 have been reviewed with an emphasis on variations in stoichiometry and stereochemistry as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal and antitumor activity of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes: current status.
TL;DR: The reduction potential of the thiosemicarbazone ligand in a Cu(II) complex, the strength of the ligand field and various spectral properties can be correlated to the inhibitory activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral and structural studies of iron(III), cobalt(II,III) and nickel(II) complexes of 2-pyridineformamide N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone
Douglas X. West,John K. Swearingen,Jesús Valdés-Martínez,Simón Hernández-Ortega,Ayman K. El-Sawaf,Frank van Meurs,Alfonso Castiñeiras,Isabel Garcı́a,Elena Bermejo +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the reduction of 2-cyanopyridine by sodium in dry methanol in the presence of N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazide produces 2-pyridineformamide, HAm4M. Coordination is via the pyridyl nitrogen, imine nitrogen and thione or thiolato sulfur when coordinating as the neutral and anionic ligand, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Douglas X. West,Gordon A. Bain,Ray J. Butcher,Jerry P. Jasinski,Yu Li,Roman Y. Pozdniakiv,Jesús Valdés-Martínez,Rubén A. Toscano,Simón Hernández-Ortega +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, three structural forms have been isolated among four 2-formyl- and 2-acetylpyridine N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones reported.
