Crystal structure of nonadentate tricompartmental ligand derived from pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid: Spectroscopic, electrochemical and thermal investigations of its transition metal(II) complexes

The coordinating behavior of a new dihydrazone ligand, 2,6-bis(3- methoxysalicylidene)hydrazinocarbonylpyridine towards manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) has been described. The metal complexes were characterized by magnetic moments, conductivity measurements, spectral (IR, NMR, UV-Vis, FAB-Mass and EPR) and thermal studies. The ligand crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P-1, with α = 98.491(10)°, β = 110.820(10)° and γ = 92.228(10)°. The cell dimensions are a = 10.196(7) , b = 10.814(7) , c = 10.017(7) , Z = 2 and V = 1117.4(12). IR spectral studies reveal the nonadentate behavior of the ligand. All the complexes are neutral in nature and possess six-coordinate geometry around each metal center. The X-band EPR spectra of copper(II) complex at both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature showed unresolved broad signals with giso = 2.106. Cyclic voltametric studies of copper(II) complex at different scan rates reveal that all the reaction occurring are irreversible. © 2011 Elsevier B.V

Synthesis and spectral investigation of manganese(II), cadmium(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes with 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(2-aminobenzoylhydrazone): crystal structure of manganese(II) and cadmium(II) complexes

The chelating behavior of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(2-aminobenzoylhydrazone) (H2dapa) towards manganese(II), cadmium(II) and oxovanadium(IV) ions has been studied by elemental analyses, conductance measurements, magnetic properties and spectral (IR, 1H NMR, UV–Vis and EPR) studies. The IR spectral studies suggest the pentadentate nature of the ligand with pyridine nitrogen, two azomethine nitrogens and two carbonyl oxygen atoms as the ligating sites. Six coordinate structure for [VO(H2dapa)]SO4 · H2O and seven coordinate structures for [Mn(H2dapa)(Cl)(H2O)]Cl · 2H2O and [Cd(H2dapa)Cl2] · H2O complexes have been proposed. Pentagonal bipyramidal geometry for [Mn(H2dapa)(Cl)(H2O)]Cl · 2H2O and [Cd(H2dapa)(Cl2)] · H2O complexes was confirmed by single crystal analysis. The X-band EPR spectra of the oxovanadium(IV) and manganese(II) complexes in the polycrystalline state at room (300 K) and also at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) were recorded and their salient features are reported
