The reaction of cis-[RuCl2(DMSO)4] with salicylaldehyde semicarbazone in ethanol resulted in the chemoselective cleavage of the CN bond of the Schiff base, forming a complex in which the semicarbazide remains coordinated to the metal, as observed previously with trans-[RuCl 2(DMSO)4]. In another set of reactions of cis-[RuCl 2(DMSO)4] with 4-aminoantipyrine derivatives of salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and o-vanillin, CN cleavage was observed in all three cases yielding the same compound, [RuCl 2(DMSO)2(4-aminoantipyrine)]. However, when the reactions, under the same experimental conditions, were extended to unsubstituted/N- substituted thiosemicarbazones of salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1- naphthaldehyde, no cleavage was observed. All the new complexes were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The structures of two of the complexes, [RuCl2(DMSO)2(semicarbazide)] ·2H2O and [RuCl2(DMSO)2(4- aminoantipyrine)], were determined by single crystal XRD and are in support of the cleavage. The electrochemistry of the complexes was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Further, the preliminary DNA-binding ability and antibacterial activity of the complexes were studied.
