Abstract

Coordination compounds with the compositions [Ni(H2TSD)2]Cl2, [Co(H2TSD)2]Cl2, [NiH2O(TSD)], [CoH2O(TSD)] and [Co(TSD)(HTSD)].2H2O were prepared, where H2TSD = HON=C(CH3)C(CH3)=N.NH.CS.NH2. Cyclic voltammetry indicated that [NiH2O(TSD)] can be oxidized and reaction of this compound with bromine yielded the nickel compound with the composition [Ni(TSD)Br]. The properties of the ligand that make it useful for stabilizing the higher oxidation states of nickel are discussed.
