Complexes of iron(II) and iron(III) with 1-formylisoquinoline thiosemicarbazone (1-iqtsc-H), 4-methyl-5-amino-1-formylisoquinoline thiosemicarbazone (4-Me-5-NH2-1-iqtsc-H) and 4-(m-aminophenyl)-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (4-m-NH2ph-2-pytsc-H) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibilities (from room temperature down to liquid N2 temperature), and Mössbauer, electronic, and infrared spectral studies. On the basis of these studies, a highly distorted, high-spin, five-coordinate structure for Fe(HL)SO4 (HL = 1-iqtsc-H, 4-Me-5-NH2-1-iqtsc-H or 4-m-NH2ph-2-pytsc-H) and a distorted, low-spin, octahedral structure for Fe(HL)Cl2 are suggested. The EPR spectra of iron(III) complexes show that all have dxy low-spin ground state. All these complexes have been screened for their antitumor activity against the P 388 lymphocytic leukemia test system in mice and have been found to possess significant activity at the dosages employed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
