A cobalt( ii) acetate complex with 1-(3,5-di- tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-1 H-indole-2,3-dione 3-thiosemicarbazone: synthesis and structure.

A complex of Co with 1-(3,5-di- tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-1 H-indole-2,3-dione 3-thiosemicarbazone was obtained and identified by X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. The characteristic C=S frequencies in the IR spectra of the thiosemicarbazones were refined. The data obtained from different methods were compared, which allows more accurate spectroscopic studies of related structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
