The crystal structures of two 5-coordinate copper(II) complexes containing neutral, tridentate 2-formylpyridine N(4)-substituted thiosemicarbazones have been determined. 2-Formylpyridine N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone, HFo4CHex coordinates via the pyridine nitrogen, imine nitrogen and thione sulfur with two chloro ligands to produce [Cu(HFo4CHex)Cl2]. Similarly, 2-formylpyridine 3-(4-methylpiperazine)thiosemicarbazone, HFoppz4M, produces [Cu(HFoppz4M)Cl2] with one major difference; rather than the expected thione form of the thiosemicarbazone moiety, it coordinates as the thiol isomer. Both complexes are close to a square pyramid structure with axial and equatorial chloro ligands and the thiosemicarbazone moieties of both ligands nearly planar. Also included is the crystal structure of N-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazide, CHextsc.
