Complexes of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) with 2-fluoro,5-nitroaniline and 4-fluoro,2-nitroaniline

Abstract

Preparation of new complexes of 2 - fluoro,5 - nitroaniline (2-F,5-NA) and 4 - fluoro,2 - nitroaniline (4-F,2-NA) of the type ML n X 2· mH 2O (where M = Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II); L = 2-F,5-NA; 4-F,2-NA; n = 2,4,6; X = Cl −, Br −, SCN −, ClO 4 −; m = 0–2) are described and their i.r., electronic spectra, and magnetic moments are reported. The ligands act always as monodentate O-bonded. The compounds are generally high spin, non electrolytes, and present square planar, tetrahedral and hexacoordinate structures.
