TL;DR: The structural aspects of the complexes formed by thiosemicarbazones and semicarazones (TSCs) with the metallic elements of Groups 12, 13, 14 and 15 are surveyed up to 1998.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the historical importance, occurrence, isolation, properties and applications of lead, as well as analytical procedures for the lead determination in biological and environmental samples.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of phenylmercury(II) acetate with a series of alkyl, aryl and heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones in ethanol formed novel phenylmerscury derivatives of stoichiometry, characterised with the help of analytical data, physical properties, IR, far-IR, multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, 199Hg) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography of complexes 1, 5 and 6.

TL;DR: In this article, the coordination modes of 5-pyrazolones are reviewed in light of the available X-ray diffraction studies of their complexes, and the coordination behavior of the molecules without any donor atoms other than those associated with the pyrazolone ring is discussed.

TL;DR: The in vitro antitumoral assays performed with two HL ligands and their metal complexes showed significant cytostatic activity for the latter, with the most active [ML2] derivative being about sixteen times more active than cis-DDP against the cisplatinum-resistant cell line A2780cisR.
