Abstract
Abstract Complexes of 3,5-dimethylbenzoic (3,5-DMB), 3,5-dinitro-benzoic (3,5-DNB) and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoic (2,4,6-TMB) acids with Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) ions have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Most of the complexes show a 1:2 metal to ligand stoichiometry. The infrared spectra suggest that the carboxylate ions are coordinated to the central metal atom in a bidentate or bridging fashion except in Hg(2,4,6-TMB)2 where there is some evidence of unidentate coordination. The conductance measurements show that the compounds are non-electrolytes. The magnetic susceptibility data of the complexes are presented.
