Catechol Oxidase, Phosphatase-Like Activity, DNA/BSA Binding Studies of RuII Complexes of S-Allyldithiocarbazate: Synthesis and Spectral Studies

New ruthenium(II) complexes with formulae [RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2L1] and [RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2L2] (L1 = S-allyl-4-methoxy benzylidene hydrazine carbodithioate, L2 = S-allyl-1-naphthylidene hydrazine carbodithioate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV-Vis, electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectral studies. Both the Schiff base ligands are coordinated to ruthenium through azomethine nitrogen (C=N) and thiolato sulfur donor atoms in the thiolate form. On the basis of spectral data obtained, an octahedral stru...
