Synthesis and characterization of Mercury (II) complexes of N-Phenyl-N-(2-Pyridyl or 2-benzothiazole) thiourea.

Abstract

Mercury(II) complexes of the type [HgX2(LH)] {X= Cl, Br, I, or SCN; LH= N-Phenyl-N-(2-pyridyl)thiourea or N-Phenyl-N-(2-benzothiazole)thiourea were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The complexes were highly insoluble in common organic solvents to be characterize by NMR or conductivity measurements.
