A new thiosemicarbazone (LH2) derived from indole 7-carbaldehyde was synthesized and reacted with ZnII, CdII, PdII and PtII salts.. The reactions with zinc and cadmium salts in 2:1 (ligand/metal) molar ratio afforded complexes of the type MX2(LH2)2, (X = Cl, Br or OAc), in which the thiosemicabazone...
