Thiosemicarbazone complexes of copper(II): structural and biological studies

Transition metal complexes of semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones

Bonding and structure trends of thiosemicarbazone derivatives of metals—An overview

Complexes of heterocyclic thione donors

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. A brief introduction is followed by a survey of the biological activity of the uncomplexed thiosemicarbazones. Next is a section on the chemical nature of thiosemicarbazones including a discussion of preparative methods, modes of coordination and isomerism. This is followed by a discussion of structural information and biological activity of the iron(III), iron(II), copper(II), cobalt(III), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones. Short sections on the biological activity of other chelating thiosemicarbazones and metal complexes are also included.
