Abstract
A single crystal of adipic acid dihydrazide, ADH, has been analyzed. Its reaction with Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Ag+, Pd2+ and/or Pt2+ gave homometallic and heterometallic complexes which are characterized by partial elemental analysis, spectra (MS, ESR, 1H NMR, electronic; IR), thermal analysis and magnetic measurements. Some complexes: Zn0.73Cu(ADH)Cl4·H2O; Zn0.71Hg0.36(ADH)Cl4·H2O; Zn0.65Cd0.46(ADH)Cl4·½H2O; Zn0.75Co0.41(ADH-2H)Cl2·3H2O; Cd0.85Co0.43(ADH)Cl4·½EtOH were isolated having nonstiochiometric metal ratios. The ligand behaves as a neutral (bidentate or tetradentate) and/or binegative tetradentate. A square-pyramid, square-planar and tetrahedral structures were proposed for the homo Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes, respectively. A similar and different stereochemistry around each metal ion (tetrahedral+tetrahedral; tetrahedral+square-planar; tetrahedral+tetrahedral and/or tetrahedral+octahedral) was suggested for the heterometallic complexes. Some complexes were found highly stable with stability point >240°C; the most stable is [HgNi(ADH-2H)Cl2]. The presence of diamagnetic atom (Zn, Cd or Hg) reduces the magnetic moments and gave anomalous moments. The degradation steps and the hydrated complexes are confirmed through the TGA study. The order of covalency of [Zn0.73Cu(ADH)Cl4]·H2O, [CdCu(ADH)Cl4]·H2O and [HgCu(ADH-2H)Cl2] matches with the size of the second metal (Zn complex>Cd complex>Hg complex). Some heterometallic complexes were found nonstoichiometric through the analysis of their metal content and supported by TGA.
