Transition metal complexes Mn(L(1))(2) (1), Mn(L(2))(2) (2), Co(L(3))(2)Cl 4H(2)O (3), Zn(L(3))(2) DMF (4), Co(HL(4))(2)(ClO(4))(2) 3H(2)O (5) and Zn(L(5))(2) DMF (6) where HL(1)=2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone, HL(2)=2-acetylpyridine N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone, HL(3)=2-benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazone, HL(4)=2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone and HL(5)=2-benzoylpyridine N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone, have been synthesized. The complexes 1, 2, 5 and 6 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Preliminary in vitro screening indicated that all the tested compounds showed significant antitumor activity against K562 leucocythemia cancer cell line.
