geometry around RuII atom is distorted octahedron with three sites occupied by the p-cymene ligand (with an ƞ6 coordination mode) while the remaining three sites occupied by the S atom of the TSC ligand and two Cl atoms. The spectroscopic studies showed that TSC1and TSC2 are coordinated to the central metal as a monodentate ligand coordinating via the thiocarbonyl sulfur atom (C=S) in complexes (1) and (2), whereas TSC3 is coordinated to ruthenium as a bidentate ligand through azomethine nitrogen (C=N) and sulfur atom in complex (3).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1. Introduction Thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) are of considerable pharmacological interest since a number of derivatives have shown a broad spectrum of biological properties. The wide range of biological activities possessed by substituted TSCs and their metal complexes include cytotoxic, antitumor, antibacterial and antiviral properties [1]. TSCs are versatile ligands as

RI PT

they have a number of donor atoms which may coordinate in various ways [2]. Incorporation of metals onto these ligands can result in alteration or enhancement of their biological activity [3]. Many examples of pharmacological applications with TSCs and their metal complexes have been evaluated for their antibacterial [4, 5], antifungal [6, 7], antiviral [8], antiamoebic

SC

[9], antimalarial [10] and antitumor [11,12] activities. It is considered to be a reason for biological activity that the TSC molecules to chelate with trace metals in biological system.

There has been much interest in the chemistry of half-sandwich arene ruthenium(II) complexes since the development of useful synthetic precursors with the general formula [RuCl2(η6-arene)]n [13-16]. Organometallic ruthenium compounds, which are particularly the half of sandwich complexes, are emerging as a very promising class of anti-tumor and antimicrobial agents. The geometry of these complexes provides a good scaffold for generating new molecules by changing the coordinated arene, the chelated ligand and the chloride group

TE D

[17, 18]. As ligands, TSCs have more than one potential donor. Therefore, we tried to observe the sites of substitution of these ligands to the metal center. We have already described, halfsandwich (η6-p-cymene) ruthenium(II) complex [(η6-p-cymene)RuClTSCN-S]Cl and carbonyl complexes

[Ru(Cl)(CO)(PPh3)2(η2-N3,S-TSC2)] and [Ru(Cl)(CO)(PPh3)2(η2-N3,S-TSC3)] [19-20]. As part of our continued interest in the synthesis and structural aspects of ruthenium(II)

complexes, new conformationally rigid half-sandwich organoruthenium(II) complexes ([(η6p-cymene)Ru(η1-S-TSC1)Cl2], (1); [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(η1-S-TSC2)Cl2], (2) and [(η6-pcymene)Ru(η2-N,S-TSC3)Cl2], (3)

have been synthesized from the reaction of [{(η6-p-

cymene)RuCl}2(µ-Cl)2] with the respective thiosemicarbazones TSC1 (2-acetyl-5-chlorothiophene thiosemicarbazone), TSC2 (2-acetyl-5-methyl-thiophene thiosemicarbazone) and TSC3 (3-thiophene aldehyde thiosemicarbazone) in a 1: 2 M ratio in methanol and all of the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV–vis, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the novel ligands TSC1, TSC2 and the complex [(η6-pcymene)Ru(η1-S-TSC2)Cl2], (2) have been determined by X-ray crystallography.

3. Results and discussion

3.1 Synthesis

Novel conformationally rigid half-sandwich organoruthenium(II) complexes of the general formula ([(η6-p-cymene)Ru(η1-S-TSC1)Cl2], (1); [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(η1-S-TSC2)Cl2], (2) and [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(η2-N,S-TSC3)Cl]Cl, (3) have been prepared by reacting [{(η6-p-

TE D

cymene)RuCl}2(µ-Cl)2] with the respective TSC ligands TSCn (n=1-3) in a 1:2 molar ratio in methanol. For the structural characterization FT-IR spectra, UV–Vis spectra and

1

H NMR

spectra were used and the corresponding data are given in experimental section.

EP

All of the complexes were isolated in medium yields and are well enough stable in air and light. The analytical data given in experimental section for the complexes are in a good fit with the formula recommended. The complexes are soluble in general organic solvents such

AC C

as dichloro methane and chloroform. Several attempts have been made to get the single crystals of all the complexes but it has been ineffective except complex (2). The spectroscopic data and the single crystal X-ray studies of TSC1, TSC2 and the complex (2) reasonably support the formulas of the compounds.

3.2 Analytical Data The analytical data for the ligands and complexes (1–3) are summarized in the experimental section. The stoichiometry of the ligands and their complexes has been confirmed by elemental analyses. The analytical data for the complexes are in good

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT agreement with the formula proposed and the spectroscopic data are given in the experimental section. The spectroscopic data fairly supports the formula of the compounds.

3.3 Infrared Spectra

RI PT

The FT-IR spectra of the free ligands were compared with those of the metal complexes in order to study the binding modes of the TSC ligand to the ruthenium metal. The main stretching frequencies of TSCn (n=1-3) and Ru(II) complexes (1-3) are given in the experimental section.

SC

TSCs are shown with general formula, [R1R2C2N3N2(H)C1(S)N1R3R4], can coordinate in a number of different manners. Most commonly they bind as either of two tautomeric forms, a neutral thione form or the anion from the thiol form. Infrared spectroscopy was used to

M AN U

confirm coordination as the thione form in (1-3). FT-IR spectra of the free ligands were

TE D

compared with the complexes to confirm the coordination of the ligand to ruthenium.

The highest frequency bands at 3223-3255 cm−1 region in spectra of the ligands are assigned to υasym and υsym of terminal NH2. These bands are present in the spectra of the complexes (1-

EP

3) at 3249-3265 cm-1 region, indicating non-involvement of this group in coordination. A strong band at 3151 cm−1, (TSC1); 3140 cm−1, (TSC2) and 3147 cm−1, (TSC3) attributed to υ(N–H) of –NH–N=C in spectra of free ligands are present with altered frequencies in the

AC C

spectra of metal complexes at 3130 cm−1, (1); 3147 cm−1, (2); and 3124 cm−1, (3) as shown in the literature [33].

The absorptions due to C=N of the free ligands at 1575 cm−1 (TSC1), 1547 cm−1 (TSC2), and 1530 cm−1 (TSC3) were observed in the FT-IR spectra. Coordination of the thiosemicarbazone ligands to ruthenium ion through azomethine nitrogen is expected to change the electron density in the azomethine and thus alters υ(C=N) band frequency after complexation, indicating coordination of azomethine nitrogen to ruthenium ion [34]. However, the υ(C=N) bands observed at 1572 cm−1 and 1546 cm−1, in complex (1) and (2), respectively remained unchanged. Co-ordination of the TSC3 to the ruthenium ion through

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT azomethine nitrogen atom is changed the electron density in the azomethine link and thus alters the υ (C=N) absorption frequency about 15 cm-1 at 1545 cm−1, in complex (3). Coordination via the thiocarbonyl sulfur atom is inferred by the following observations. The free ligands display υ(C=S) absorption at 839 cm−1 (TSC1), 840 cm−1 (TSC2) and 817 cm−1 (TSC3). This band is also present in the low frequency region in the spectra of the

RI PT

complexes at 801 cm−1 (1), 803 cm−1 (2) and 798 cm−1 (3). The downward (C=S) band shift (19-38 cm-1) in the complexes provides evidence for coordination of thiocarbonyl sulfur atom for all of the complexes [35, 36]. No bands near 2570 cm-1 due to υ(C-SH) suggesting that these ligands remain in the thione form in the solid-state in complexes (1-3). FT-IR spectra of the

SC

complexes show that TSC1and TSC2 are coordinated to the central metal as a monodentate ligand coordinating via the thiocarbonyl sulfur atom (C=S) in complexes (1) and (2), whereas

and sulfur atom in complex (3).

M AN U

TSC3 is coordinated to ruthenium as a bidentate ligand through azomethine nitrogen (C=N) The υ(N–N) bands of TSCs are at 1065 cm-1 (TSC1), 1034 cm-1 (TSC2) and 1038 cm-1 (TSC3). The increase in frequency of these bands 1088 cm-1 (1), 1051 cm-1 (2), 1055 cm-1 (3) in the spectra of all the complexes respectively provides evidence for either the coordination via the azomethine nitrogen [37] as in complex (3) or H-bonding between NH

TE D

and Cl atoms as seen from the X-ray crystallographic structure of complex (2). These two reasons may change the stretching frequency of N-N bond. The bands observed at 871, 754, 695 cm-1

for complex (1); 870, 701, 662 cm-1 for complex (2) and 840, 798, 656 cm-1 for

complex (3) are attributed to the thiophene ring deformation modes in the ligands. These

EP

thiophene ring deformation vibrations are not affected in the complexes [38]. 3.4 1H NMR spectra

AC C

The ligand-to-metal bonding is further supported by 1H NMR spectra. The TSC ligands and the complexes are very soluble in CHCl3 and so their NMR spectra were obtained in CDCl3. The 1H NMR spectral results obtained for TSCn and n=1–3 in CDCl3 with their assignments are given in the experimental section. In the spectrum of complex (3), sharp singlets at 8.35 ppm has been assigned to azomethine proton (–HC=N). The positions of azomethine signal in the complexes are shifted to a lower field compared to free ligands at 7.87 ppm (TSC3), indicating coordination through the azomethine nitrogen. A downfield shift is observed for these signals compared to the free ligands upon coordination to ruthenium, suggesting coordination of the metal to the

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT azomethine nitrogen atom as the signal becomes more deshielded in each case. This is also observed for similar arene ruthenium (II) thiosemicarbazone complexes [39, 40]. The absence of the signal at 4.00 ppm that can be ascribed to –SH is consistent with the idea that in solution, as in the solid state, TSCs exist as the thione tautomer in the complexes (1-3) [41]. The singlet signal due to the methyl (CH3-C=N) on the ligands (TSC1-TSC2) are

RI PT

observed at 2.22 ppm and 2.24 ppm respectively, these signals shifts slightly towards lower field in complexes (1) and (2) at 2.26 ppm.

The isopropyl methines are found as multiplets at 2.96 ppm, in (1); 2,64 ppm, in (2) and 2.85 ppm, in (3). The isopropyl methyls are occured as two doublets at 1.34 and 1.12 ppm, in

SC

(1) and 1.32 and 1.21 ppm, in (2), whereas only as a doublet at 1.11 ppm, in (3). The singlet signal due to the methyl on the rings are observed at 2.08 ppm, in (1); 2.12 ppm, in (2) and 2.06 ppm, in (3). In the 1H NMR spectra of complex (1) and (2) the loss of symmetry is

M AN U

evidenced by the appearance of sets of doublets in the region of 5.50- 7.50 ppm accounting for the protons of the p-cymene rings. The methyl substituents of the isopropyl group are observed as two distinct doublets in the aliphatic region of the spectra, which further confirms the loss of symmetry as the two methyl groups are non-equivalent. These doublets belong to the methyl protons are observed at 1.34 and 1.12 ppm for complex (1) and 1.32 and 1.21 ppm

TE D

for complex (2). The loss of symmetry of the arene rings in complex (1) and (2) suggests that these complexes have similar modes of coordination.

The p-cymene protons resonate at

frequencies typically seen for this group [42].

The NH2 signals in the complexes attributed to the ligand are practically unchanged from

the free ligands. The NH2 group generates broad signal at 8.07 ppm, in (1); 8.17 ppm, in (2) and 8.58 ppm (3). Resonances of terminal NH2 in (1-3) are seen in the same positions as in ligand spectra confirming the non-involvement of this group in coordination. A signal for the

AC C

hydrazinic NH protons at 8.59 ppm (TSC1), 8.62 ppm (TSC2), and 9.30 ppm (TSC3) in 1H NMR spectra of the ligands are present in NMR spectra of the complexes; 10.91 ppm (1), 10.81 ppm (2), and 11.37 ppm (3) with gradual downfield shifts. All the other protons resonate in regions commonly expected. The 1H NMR spectra of the complexes (1-3) are essentially direct combination of the signals from the ligands plus those from the p-cymene moiety. In the 1H NMR spectra of complexes (1-3) all indications are that the ligands remain neutral form (as evidenced by the presence of the NH protons). Multiplets are observed at around 6.60–7.93 ppm in all the complexes and have been assigned to the aromatic protons of p-cymene ring and thiophen of the thiosemicarbazone ligands. Furthermore, in all the complexes largest ∆δ are observed for the protons that are located

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT close to the coordinating atoms. So, the deshielding effect of the metal is apparent to such protons [43].

3.5 Electronic spectra

RI PT

The electronic spectra of the ligands and its copmlexes were recorded in THF. The spectra of free ligands showed two types of bands at 314-343 and 248-250 nm. The probable assigment for these bands are due to the n-π* (thiosemicarbazones) and π-π* (thiophene) transitions. The ground state of Ru (II) is 1A1g, arising from the t62g configuration in an octahedral

environment. Excited state corresponding to the t52ge1g configuration are 3T1g, 3T2g, 1T1g and T2g. Hence four bands, corresponding to the transitions 1A1g

Ru(II) complexes show several absorptions in the ultraviolet region. Bands at 296-351 nm in all Ru(II) complexes may be assigned to Ru (4dπ)

π* (imine) transitions. The pattern of

the electronic spectra of all the complexes indicate the presence of an octahedral geometry around ruthenium (II) ion [44].

3.6. Description of the crystal structures

TE D

3.6.1 Crystal structure of TSC1and TSC2

The compounds, TSC1 and TSC2, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c; their molecular structures are illustrated in Fig. 3 and 4, respectively. TSC2 comprises two

EP

crystallographically independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The corresponding bond lengths and bond angles of molecules A and B of TSC2 agree well with each other and are within normal ranges.

AC C

The thiophene rings (S4/C10–C13 in molecule A of TSC2, S6/C18–C21 in molecule B of TSC2 and S2/C3–C6 in TSC1) are reasonably planar, the maximum deviation from planarity being 0.006 (5), 0.018 (5) and 0.004 (1) Å for atoms C12, C20 and C3, respectively. The two endocyclic C–S bonds lengths, C10–S4 and C13–S4 in A; C18–S6 and C21–S6 in B and C3– S2 and C6–S2 in (I), are 1.723 (7) and 1.708(8) Å; 1.707(7) and 1.698(8) Å and 1.721(2) and 1.710(2) Å, respectively. These distances are in good agreement with a related compound [4547]. The TSC fragment in molecule A and B is almost planar with the maximum deviation 0.0386 and 0.0577 Å, respectively, and in TSC1 maximum deviation is 0.0547 Å. The TSC group adopts an extended conformation, which can be seen from the torsion angle value of

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT S3/C8/N5/N6=172.9(4)o in molecule A, S5/C16/N8/N9=–169.4(5)° in molecule B and S1/C1/N2/N3= –169.7(2)° in TSC1. This conformation enables the formation of an intramolecular N–H···N hydrogen bond. The exocyclic C–S distances, C8–S3 and C16–S5 in both A and B are 1.690(6) Å, respectively, and in TSC1 distance C1–S1 is 1674(2) Å, confirm their significant double-bond character [48]. The N–N bond lengths are 1.364 (7) and 1.370

RI PT

(7) Å in molecules A and B, respectively, of compound TSC1, and 1.377(3) Å in compound TSC2. These bond lengths are very close to that reported for a similar TSC compound [49-51]. Likewise, in compound TSC1, the C6–Cl1 bond length is comparable with those in related structures [52, 53]. In all three compounds, the molecular structure is stabilized by a cyclic intramolecular N–H···N hydrogen bonds which generate S(5) ring motifs (Table 2) [54].

SC

In the crystal of compound TSC1, molecules are linked by pairs of N–H···S hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimmers with an R22(8) ring motif (Table 2 and Fig. 5). The dimers

M AN U

are linked by π···π interaction [Cg1···Cg1i= 3.8330(3) Å, inter-planar distance=3.6174 Å, slippage 1.267 Å, where Cg1 is the centroid of the S2/C3–C6 ring; symmetry code: (i) x, 3/2 y, 1/2+z], forming ribbons lying parallel to plane

.

In the compound TSC2, the molecules labeled as A are linked via bifurcated N–H···S and

TE D

C–H···S hydrogen bonds, forming A–A dimers with two R12(7) ring motifs, and R22(8) and R22(14) ring motifs. The molecules labeled as B is also involved in intermolecular N8– H8···S5i2 hydrogen bonds, resulting in R22(8) centrosymmetric dimers. In addition to these, the dimers are packed by pairs of N–H···S hydrogen bonds interactions forming

EP

centrosymmetric rings with set-graph motif R22(8) and resulting in the formation of a twodimensional network extending along [100], (Fig. 6). The crystal packing is further stabilized

AC C

by intermolecular C15–H15B···Cg1 and C23–H23A···Cg2 interactions into supramolecular chains running along the c axis. Cg1 and Cg2 are the centres of gravity of thiophene rings S4/C10–C13 and S6/C18–C21, respectively. Details of these interactions are given Table 2.

3.6.2 Crystal structure of the Complex (2) The title compound adopts a typical three legged piano-stool geometry (a description commonly used for half–sandwich compounds) with the metal centre coordinated by two chlorides and a TSC ligand. The coordination geometry around RuII atom is distorted octahedron with three sites occupied by the p–cymene ligand (with an ƞ6 coordination mode) while the remaining three sites occupied by the S atom of the TSC ligand and two Cl atoms (Fig. 7). The distorted octahedral geometry is evident from the bond angles given in Table 3.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The six-membered ring of the p-cymene is almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.020 (4) Å (C20) and an overall r.m.s. deviation of 0.0126 Å. The dihedral angle between the p-cymene ring (C17–C22) and the isopropenyl group (C23–C25) planes is 75.90 (0.27)o. The Ru–C(ring) distances are in the range 2.1364 (1)–2.2414 (1) Å and agree well with those reported for similar structures [55,56]. The distance between the RuII ion and the least-

RI PT

squares plane of the p-cymene aromatic ring is 1.6703 (1) Å, which is very close to that reported in other (p-cymene)ruthenium(II) complexes [57, 58]. Defining X as the centroid of the aromatic ring, the Cl1—Ru1—X, Cl2—Ru1—X and S3—Ru1—X angles are 126.85, 125.73 and 129.00o, respectively.

SC

The two Ru–Cl bond distances are slightly different [2.4215(2) and 2.4324 (2) Å], longer than those of previously reported structures [59-61]. The bond lengths in the coordinated TSC ligand are nearly similar in free TSC ligand. Besides, the bond angles in the TSC moiety

M AN U

shows significant changes on coordination.

The molecular structure is stabilized by N4–H4A···N6 and N5–H5···Cl1 intramolecular interactions, which generate S(5) and S(6) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal packing, both chloro ligands are involved in H-bonded interaction with the NH2 moieties of a neighbouring molecule, thus forming a symmetry-related dimeric structure (Table 4). These

and

[(η6-p-

cymene)Ru(η2-N,S-TSC3) Cl]Cl, (3). The crystal structures of TSC1, TSC2 and [(η6-pcymene)Ru(η1-S-TSC2)Cl2], (2) have been determined by X-ray crystallography revealing that TSC1 and TSC2, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c and complex 2 show a distorted octahedral geometry around the ruthenium centre. The mononuclear complex adopts a typical three legged piano-stool geometry with the metal centre coordinated by two chlorides and a TSC ligand. The coordination geometry around RuII atom is distorted octahedron with three sites occupied by the p-cymene ligand (with an ƞ6 coordination mode) while the remaining three sites occupied by the S atom of the TSC ligand and two Cl atoms. The spectroscopic studies showed that TSC1and TSC2 are coordinated to the central metal as a

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT monodentate ligand coordinating via the thiocarbonyl sulfur atom (C=S) in complexes (1) and (2), whereas TSC3 is coordinated to ruthenium as a bidentate ligand through azomethine nitrogen (C=N) and sulfur atom in complex (3). Althoug N,S-coordination mode is the most common for thiosemicarbazone ligands, unusual monodentate coordination mode of TSC1and TSC2 in complex (1) and (2) are shown in this paper. In the spectral data of the complexes all

indications are that the TSC ligands remain neutral form.
