Synthesis, characterization and anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis assays of new platinum(II)/dppf/N,Ndisubstituted-N′-acyl thiourea complexes with general formulae [Pt(dppf)(L)]PF 6 , [dppf = 1,1′-bis (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene; L = N,N-disubstituted-N′-acyl thioureas] is reported. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, NMR (1 H, 13 C and 31 P{ 1 H}) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data are consistent with the complexes containing one dppf and one O, S chelated ligand. The crystal structures of complexes with N,N-diphenyl-N′-benzoylthiourea (L4), N,N-diethyl-N′-furoylthiourea (L5) and N,N-diphenyl-N′-(thiophene-2-carbonyl)thiourea (L8) were determined by X-ray crystallography, confirming the coordination of the ligands with the metal through sulfur and oxygen atoms, forming distorted square-planar structures. The complexes were screened with respect to their anti-M. tuberculosis activity (H37Rv ATCC 27294).
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.
