Synthesis and Characterization of N-[1,10-Phenanthroline]-N '-[(Benzo-15-Crown-5)yl] Thiourea and Its Complex with Copper(I)

Abstract

A new thiourea ligand, N-(1,10-phenanthroline)-N ' -((benzo-15-crown- 5)yl)thiourea has been synthesized from the reaction of 5-amino-1,10-phenanthro- line with 15-isothiocyanatobenzo(15-crown-5) and its Cu(I) complex has been prepared. The structures of the ligand and its complex have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-vis, FTIR, 1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6 ), 13 C NMR (DMSO-d 6 ) and MS spectra (LC-MS).
