General description

The transition metal complexes with benzene-1,2-dithiol as ligand were studied by UV-vis, resonance Raman (rR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopies.

Application

Benzene-1,2-dithiol was used in the preparation of a new type of Schiff base that was required in the synthesis of a new series of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes.

A new series of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes have been designed and synthesized using a new type of Schiff bases derived from the reaction of 3-(3-phenyl-allylidene)-pentane-2,4-dione with para substituted aniline and benzene-1,2-dithiol. Their structures have been established by analytical and
