The synthesis and structural characterization of a square-planar copper(II)
complex with pyridoxal S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (PLITSC) of the formula
[Cu(PLITSC?H)H2O]Br?H2O (1) as the first Cu(II) complex with monoanionic
form of this ligand were described. Complex 1 together with two previously
synthesized complexes [Cu(PLITSC)Br2] (2) and [Cu(PLITSC)Br(MeOH)]Br (3)
were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectra and also
by the methods of thermal analysis, conductometry and magnetochemistry.
