Synthesis, crystal structures and antioxidant studies of Pd(II) and Ru(II) complexes of 2-(4-methoxyphenyltelluro) ethanol

Pd(II) (1) and Ru(II) (2) complexes of 2-(4-methoxyphenyltelluro)ethanol (L), were synthesized using Na2 [PdCl4] and [Ru (η6-p-cymene)Cl2]2 as metal ion sources. The new complexes (1 and 2) were characterized by 1H, 13C{1H} NMR, FT-IR, UV–Visible spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Their structures were also confirmed by single crystal X-Ray diffraction. The characterizationdata revealed that the ligand L coordinated to M(II) ion as a...
