Six nickel(II) complexes of the N2 O2 chelating thiosemicarbazones were synthesized using N1-4-benzyloxysalicylidene-Smethyl/propyl thiosemicarbazone and methoxy-substitute-salicylaldehydes in the presence of Ni(II) ion by template reaction. The structures of thiosemicarbazones and nickel(II) complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopies. The structure of the N1-4-benzyloxysalicylidene-S-propyl thiosemicarbazone (2) was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction method. The total antioxidant capacities of synthesized compounds were evaluated by using cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) method. |
