n RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Characterization [Zn(C16H14N4O3S)Cl.
AH2O Complex The FTIR spectrum complex exhibited an occurrence of shifting in the vibration of stretching for C=O from 1667 cmOe1 in ligand to 1617 cmOe1 in complex and azomethine group from 1596 cmOe1 in ligand to 1600 cmOe1 in complex, which was a good proof on the coordination of ligand and the metal ion from the nitrogen atom of an azomethine group and oxygen atom of the carbonyl.
On the other hand, a new band appeared with a weak intensity at 533 cmOe1 refers to MAeN stretching vibration, and MAeO appeared at 462 cmOe1 .
While the band at 325 cmOe1 refers to the MAeCl .
UV-Visible spectrum for Zn(II) complex was characterized and displayed two peaks around 287 and 339 nm, which resulted from A to A* and appeared as the third peak at 358 nm, referring to the n to A* transition.
Also displayed a new peak at 421 nm, referring to charge transfer, but some shifting besides turning in the form of the bands were contrasted with bands for the free ligand that appeared at 284 and 363 nm, resulting from A to A* Indones.

and n to A* transition, respectively.
These results became proof of the coordination link between the active site atom for the ligand and the transition metal ion.
The spectrum of Zn(II) complex was illustrated by not finding the visible absorption band because of the absence of d to d, which can be referred to as the full saturation of d shell .
For the same reason, the prepared Zn(II) complex has diamagnetic properties and conductivity data for dissolved samples in DMSO solvent at room temperature displayed that it was not an ionic compound .

Mean The Route Treatment of Leukemia Cell Line Using ZnO Nanoparticles as a Drug Transporter: Rules for Guiding Treatment To direct the drug to cancer cells using nanotechnology accurately, the study concluded that this is achieved through 3 main rules, the first of which is that the dose of chemotherapy is placed in nano-carriers, which are nanomaterials that are used as a drug transport unit to direct it to cancer cells only .
The second is that there are so-called Auchemical ligandsAy on the surface of these vectors, and their function is to identify the third element in the process, which is the AureceptorsAy that are present in a large amount on the surface of cancerous cells, but it is not present on healthy ones.
When the ligands and receptors unite together, the drug is emptied into the cancer cells with extreme precision, without reaching the Areej Ali Jarullah et al.

The curve was drawn between the log of concentration on the x-axis and the survival rate of cancer cells on the y-axis, where the line of leukemia represented the HL-60 cell line.
The test was conducted on cancer cells, and the result was a decrease in the percentage of cancer cells with an increase in the concentrations of the drug, where the results obtained, which is the highest table, show that the ratio has been reduced to 50%.
n CONCLUSION The ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized from Zn(II) tetrahedral complex with HCl and HNO3 and The ZnO nanoparticles were found in 100 nm size and they can be used as a drug carrier to treat leukemia after combining it with drugs, where the ratio has been reduced to 50%.
