Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) acetates were reacted in methanol under various experimental conditions with thiosemicarbazones derived from β-keto amides or β-keto esters (HTSC). Some of these reactions afforded thiosemicarbazonate complexes [M(TSC)2] with IR and NMR spectra compatible with N,S-coordination, but most gave complexes [ML2], where HL is a substituted 2,5-dihydro-S-oxo-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide resulting from cyclization of the HTSC. Some of these pyrazolonates and two of the HL ligands were studied by X-ray diffractometry, and their structures are discussed. Surprisingly, the reactions of zinc(II) acetate with HTSC in 1 : 1 mol ratio usually gave a third, previously unreported type of complex with a dideprotonated ligand, [Zn(L - H)], which was also formed when [ZnL2] and Zn(OAc)2 interacted at room temperature in 1 : 1 mol ratio. These L - H complexes are highly insoluble in all common solvents, which hinders their characterization but suggests that they are polymeric in nature.
