The reaction of anti-p-Tolylchloroglyoxime PTCGH(2) with thiophenol, 4-methylthiophenol and 4-methoxythiophenol in ethanol between -5 degrees C and 10 degrees C gives unsymmetrical vic-dioximes, designated as thiophenolo-p-tolylglyoxime [L(1)H(2)], 4-methylthiophenolo-p-tolylglyoxime [L(2)H(2)] and 4-methoxythiophenol-p-etolylglyoxime [L(3)H(2)]. The Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of these ligands are proposed to be square-planar, while the Co(II) complexes are proposed to be octahedral with water molecules as axial ligands. Structural assignments are supported by H-1 NMR IR and elemental analyses which are reported herein.
