Synthesis of new coordination compounds of some 3d metals bazed on N(4)-(ethyl acetate) thiosemicarbazones 2-formil and 2-acetyl pyridine. Antioxidative properties

The given work includes the description of methods for the synthesis of new coordinative combinations of Cu(II), Mn(II), Fe(III) Co(III), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with N(4)-(ethyl acetate) thiosemicarbazones of 2-formylpyridine and 2-acetylpyridine. The characterization of the newly synthesized compounds was carried out using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, conductivity, and elemental analysis. In addition, the structures of N(4)-(ethyl acetate) thiosemicarbazide and N(4)-(ethyl acetate) thiosemicarbazone 2-acetylpyridine (HL2) were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The antioxidant activity of coordinative combinations was studied and compared with that of free ligands. The most pronounced antioxidant properties are possessed by [Ni(L2)Cl], whose value of IC50=15,05 μM is three times higher than the IC50=46,76 μM of the non-coordinating ligand and about 2,5 times higher than the reference substances Rutin and Trolox.
