Abstract

The stability constants of three isomeric quinolyl hydrazones; {4,6-(para); 4,7-(meta) and 4,8-MeBHQ(ortho)} towards some bivalent metal ions have been determined in 75% solvent (dioxane, isopropanol, ethanol and methanol)–water by a pH-titrimetry. The insertion of the Me-group in the 8-position decreases the stability of the complexes to a great extent. The complexation of the ortho-derivative is endothermic, whereas that of the para-derivative is exothermic. Using the solvent parameters, the stability constants of the para-derivative towards Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions were evaluated in aqueous medium by five different methods. Also, the electronic absorption spectra of the ortho-hydrazone have been studied in solvents of various polarities to investigate the dependence of the band shift (Δ ύ) on the solvent parameters viz. 1/ D, Z, E T, DN, AN and (α, β, π*). The interaction of the hydrazones with CoCl 2·6H 2O afforded an octahedral complex in case of the ortho-hydrazone and square planar complexes in case of the meta- and para-hydrazones.
