Abstract

Abstract : Reactions of K2 [PdCl4 ] with heterocyclic thiones in molar ratios of 1:2 and 1:4 in water-methanol medium yielded the palladium(II) complexes with the general formula of either [Pd(L)Cl2 ], [Pd(L)2 ]Cl2 or [Pd(L)4 ]Cl2 where L ═ Imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt), 2-Mercaptopyridine (Mpy), 2-Mercaptopyrimidine (Mpm), 6-Mercaptopurine (6-Mp) and Thionicotinamide (Tna). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic (IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR) methods. An upfield shift in the >C═S resonance of thiones in 13 C NMR and downfield shift in N–H or aromatic proton resonances in 1 H NMR are consistent with the sulfur coordination to palladium(II). The complexes were screened for antibacterial activity, and the results showed that the complexes exhibited moderate activities as compared to that of a standard drug.
