Abstract
Metal complexes of a new thiosemicarbazone derived from 3-acetylumbelliferone (HL) have been prepared and characterized. The complexes have the general formula ML2 · nH2O where MII = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn; n = 0 and 2. The ligand and its complexes have been studied for their possible antitumour activity against HL-60 human leukemia in vitro.
