Synthesis, characterization, and spectral features of six-coordinated dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the type, [MoO2(tscz)2] (where Htscz represents the thiosemicarbazone moiety) are reported. These have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations, and magnetic studies. Based on IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and electronic spectral studies, an octahedral geometry with cis-MoO2 structure has been proposed. The antibacterial and fungicidal activities of two representative ligands and their dioxomolybdenum complexes have also been evaluated and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
