- Abstract
Seven new complexes of 2-pyridyl ketone Schiff bases N, N′-bis-(pyridin-2-yl-benziliden)-propan-1,3-diamine ( bpbpd) and N, N′-bis-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)-etiliden]-propan-1,3-diamine ( bpepd) with Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) nitrates and perchlorates were synthesized and investigated using elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques (IR and UV-Vis-NIR) as well as magnetic and conductometric measurements. The structure of a cadmium(II) complex was accomplished by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Schiff base ligands act as NNNN tetradentate ligands coordinating through pyridine nitrogens and azomethine nitrogens to transition metal ions. The metal ions are six-coordinate for Co(II) and Ni(II), four-coordinate in the case of Zn(II) and eight-coordinate for Cd(II) ions. The coordination sphere of cobalt and nickel complexes is completed by two water molecules, resulting a distorted octahedron. In the case of zinc(II) complexes has been proposed a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Cd(II) ions are surrounded by a tetradentate Schiff base ligand and two bidentate nitrate anions, leading to a dodecahedral coordination environment. Thermal decomposition of these compounds is a multistage process. Generally, water elimination occurs in the first step and the decomposition of nitrate groups and organic ligands in the next stages. The last step of decomposition for all complexes is strong exothermic and corresponds to oxidative combustion of the Schiff base ligand.
