1863-1867Cadmium halides/perchlorate react with bis-benzimidazolyl
ligands (1) 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (L1), 1,3 - bis(l-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene
(L2) and 2,6-bis(l-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (L3) in
ethanol to produce complexes of the compositions CdX2Ll.nH2O
(X = Cl, n = 1, X = Br or I, n = 2), (CdCl2)2L2,
CdX2L (X = Br or I, L = L2; X= Cl, Br or I, L = L3
Cd2(L1)3(ClO4).6H2O
and Cd(L)2(ClO4)2.nH2O (L = L2,
n = 2; L = L3, n = 0). The complexes have been characterized by elemental
analyses, conductance measurements, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectral
studies as well as thermal analysis
