Hydrazone compounds have interesting biological activities. In this work, a new hydrazone compound 3,5-dihydroxy-N'-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)benzohydrazide (HL) was synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The compound reacts with copper chloride and nickel acetate, respectively, to afford metal complexes [CuCl2(HL)]∙CH3OH (1∙CH3OH) and [NiL2]∙2CH3OH∙2H2O (2∙2CH3OH∙2H2O). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, and IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Structures of HL and the complexes were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray determination. The hydrazone ligand in complex 1 adopts neutral form and coordinates to Cu ion through pyridine nitrogen, imino nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen atoms. The hydrazone ligands in complex 2 adopt monoanionic form and coordinate to Ni ion through pyridine nitrogen, imino nitrogen and enolate oxygen atoms. The Cu atom in complex 1 is in square pyramidal coordination, and the Ni atom in complex 2 is in octahedral coordination. The compounds were tested for their urease inhibitory activities. Complex 1 has remarkable activity on Jack bean urease (IC50 = 0.5 ± 0.1 μmol L-1).

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
