Proton-ligand association constants of 1-benzoyl(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thiourea (BTTU) and its complex formation constants with some bivalent metal ions Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), and Cu(II), have been determined potentiometrically in 50% EtOH–H2O and 0.1 M NaNO3. The complexes formed in solution have a stoichiometry of 1:1 and 1:2 [M:L], where M represents the metal ion and L the BTTU ligand. The corresponding thermodynamic parameters are derived and discussed. The complexes are stabilized by enthalpy changes and the results suggest that complexation is an enthalpy-driven process. The effects of metal ion, ionic radius, electronegativity, and nature of ligand on the formation constants are discussed. The formation constants of the complexes with 3d transition metals follow the order Mn2+ < Co2+ < Ni2+ < Cu2+ > Zn2+. The metal complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, IR,1H NMR, and magnetic measurements. The low magnetic moment of 0.11 BM for the Cu(II) complex is suggestive of dimerization through Cu–Cu interaction. The concentration distribution diagrams of the complexes were evaluated. The ligands and their metal complexes have been screenedin vitroagainst some bacteria and fungi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
