found to exist in their thione tautomeric form in solid state. It is found that the<br />

compounds HZLZ and HZLS exhibiting keto-enol tautomerism, while the compound<br />

HZLI shows an exclusive presence <strong>of</strong> its thione tautomer, in their CDC]; solutions.<br />

Study <strong>of</strong> in vitro anticancer activity towards MCF-7 cell lines <strong>of</strong> selected compounds<br />

are also reported, it is seen that the new thiosemicarbazone HL7 shows<br />

antiproliferation effect.<br />

Chapter 3 describes the synthesis, spectral and structural features <strong>of</strong> four self­<br />

<strong>assembled</strong> molecular square grids <strong>of</strong> Ni(H) using carbohydrazone and thiocarbohydrazone<br />

ligands. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> them is described in details and is in<br />

agreement with a molecular square <strong>of</strong> four Ni(H) octahedral centers, as expected. The<br />

MALDI MS spectra are found very useful for the characterization <strong>of</strong> stable framework<br />

complexes. Magneto-structural correlation study shows intramolecular antiferromagnetic<br />

coupling between Ni(H) electrons, consistent with the bridging structural arrangement, by a<br />

super exchange mechanism through intervening sulfur/oxygen atoms. F our new<br />

thiosemicarbazone Ni(Il) complexes were also synthesized and characterized. This include<br />

X-ray studies <strong>of</strong> two mononuclear octahedral Ni(H) compounds.<br />

Chapter 4 comprises the syntheses and spectral characterization <strong>of</strong> twelve<br />

copper(ll) complexes using all carbohydrazone and thiocarbohydrazone ligands.<br />

Tetranuclear, trinuclear and dinuclear copper(ll) complexes are studied with special<br />

emphasis to EPR spectral and variable temperature magnetic properties. However, the<br />

Cu(II) compounds, especially from carbohydrazone-derived, are found not very stable<br />

in solution or under ionization conditions <strong>of</strong> MALDI. The lability in solutions is also<br />

clear because all the complexes showing antiferromagnetism in the solid state do not<br />

exhibit the coupling <strong>of</strong> electrons in their frozen DMF solution EPR spectra. The EPR<br />

parameters, under investigation conditions, were obtained by making use <strong>of</strong><br />

simulations. In addition, selected compounds were screened for in vitro anticancer<br />

activity towards MCF-7 cell lines and the results clearly points to the fact that ligands
