Platinum(II) and palladium(II) aryl-thiosemicarbazone complexes: synthesis, characterization, molecular modeling, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial activity

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes [ML2] have been isolated from reaction of K2PtCl4 or K2PdCl4 and ligands (L) derived from thiosemicarbazones. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, Raman, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. In addition, quantum mechanical calculations were used to predict their structures and spectroscopic properties. For the first time, theoretical calculations using 195Pt NMR data were used to support the...
