Bivalent transition metal complexes of 4,5-diazafluorene-9-one benzoylhydrazone (HL) and the characterization of weak interaction in CoL 2 (H 2 O) 2

Synthesis, spectral characterization and crystal structure of N-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde-N'-4-nitrobenzoyl hydrazone and its square planar Cu(II) complex

A new aroyl hydrazone, N-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde-N'-4-nitrobenzoyl hydrazone (H2L) and its mixed ligand Cu(II) complex [CuLpy] [py, pyridine] have been prepared. The ligand is characterized by elemental analysis, electronic, infrared and NMR spectral studies and the complex by electronic, infrared, EPR spectral studies and the magnetic susceptibility data. The structures of the compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Both the ligand and the Cu complex crystallize into a triclinic lattice with a space group of PI. From the crystal studies, it is concluded that the ligand molecule exits in the keto form in the solid state, while at the time of complexation, it tautomerises into the enol form. The complex is formed by the double deprotonation of the ligand molecule--both the phenolic and the enolic protons.

Crystal structure and characterization of the dinuclear Cd(II) complex [Cd(H2O)2(o-HOC6H4COO)2]2

The structure of a new binuclear cadmium (II) complex, [Cd(H2O)2(Sal)2]2 (Sal= salicylate), has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It was also characterized by elemental analysis, its IR spectrum and thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c, with lattice parameters a = 15.742(3) A, b = 12.451(3) A, c = 7.7225(15) A, beta = 96.07(3)degrees and Z = 4. Two cadmium (II) ions are bridged by two mu(2)-carboxy oxygen atoms. Each cadmium atom lies in a distorted capped octahedron coordination geometry. The thermal gravimetry (TG) data indicate that there are four discrete decomposition steps with two endothermic peaks and one exothermic peak. The final thermal decomposition product is CdO.
