Abstract

The preparation and characterization of new mercuric complexes of formula L(2)Hg(CN)(2) with L being imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt) and its substituted derivatives, 1,3-diazinane-2-thione (Diaz), 1,3-diazipane-2-thione (Diap), are described. The solution and solid-state (13)C NMR show a significant shift of the CS carbon resonance of the ligands, while the other resonances are relatively unaffected, indicating that most likely the solid-state structure is maintained in solution as well. The principal components of the (199)Hg shielding tensors were determined from solid-state NMR data. Antimicrobial activity studies of the free ligands and their complexes show that ligands exhibit substantial antibacterial activities compare to their Hg(II) complexes.
