(1R,2R)-1,2-bis-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diol (L) has been prepared by the reaction of thiosemicarbazide with (2R,3R)-(+)-tartaric acid (I) and phosphorous oxychloride, and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) have been obtained. The structures of the ligand and its complexes have been established by i.r., H-1- and C-13-n.m.r. spectra, u.v.-vis-nir spectroscopy, elemental analyses, T.g.-D.t.a. and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
