Thiosemicarbazide are sulphur containing schiff base and known for it fascinated
properties as versatile ligand thus make it widely study and its application are apply
in many field. This study are important to know the relationship between the electron
delocalization in the thiosemicarbazide derivative and the contribution on electrical
activity. Complex derivative in this research project have been synthesized by
condensation reaction of thiosemicarbazide and p-benzoquinone which later react with
transition metal to form metal complex before thin film are form. The compound was
characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ultravioletvisible
spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and CHNS elemental analysis. FT-IR spectrum shows
the significance bands for the functional group of ⱱ(C=N) and ⱱ(C=S) and the
dissapearing of ⱱ(C=O). Meanwhile, UV spectroscopy shows one main absorptions at
241nm and a shoulder at 292nm. The thin film form are expected to have electrical
conductivity due to the electron delocalization of the ligand.
