Abstract: Reaction of new thiosemicarbazones (1-4) derived from thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde and cycloalkylaminothiocarbonylhydrazine with [Ru(eta(4)-C8H12)(CH3CN)2Cl2] leads to form complexes (1a-4a) of the type [Ru(eta(4)-C8H12)(TSC)Cl2] (where TSC=thiosemicarbazone). All the compounds have been characterised by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, electronic spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. It is concluded that the thionic sulphur and the azomethine nitrogen atom of the ligands are bonded to the metal ion. In vitro antiamoebic screening against (HK-9) strain of Entamoeba histolytica indicated that the Ru(II) complexes of thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones were found more active than the thiosemicarbazones.
