Preparation and Diagnosis of New Cd(II) Complexes using S-(thiophen-2-yl) 2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethanethioate ligand Plus Phosphinate Group

Abstract

This study investigates the use of phosphines in conjunction with the S-(thiophen-2-yl) 2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethanethioate ligand to synthesize and characterize novel Cd(II) complexes. As sulfur-containing aromatic compounds, thiophenes are important in synthetic and natural chemistry, although there are limitations to their ability to bind metals. Through complexation, which was assessed using methods including FTIR, NMR, and SEM, regular nanostructures in tetrahedral geometries were discovered. This research attempts to address this through complexation, evaluated using techniques such as FTIR, NMR, and SEM, which revealed regular nanostructures in tetrahedral geometries. Promising outcomes were observed in conductivity measures and biological activity tests conducted against bacterial strains. The results provide fresh insights into coordination chemistry and the production of nanomaterials, and also point to the possible applications of these complexes in areas including hydrogen storage and antimicrobial treatments.
