Abstract
Four novel mixed-ligand complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with m-hydroxybenzoate (m-Hba) and N,N-diethylnicotinamide (Dena) were synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopic study, and solid state UV-Vis spectrophotometric and magnetic-susceptibility data. The thermal behavior of the complexes was studied by combined TG-DTA methods in static air atmosphere, and the mass spectra were recorded. The Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes, except for the Cu(II) complex, contain two molecules of coordinated water, two m-Hba, and two Dena ligands per formula unit. In these complexes, the m-Hba and Dena behave as monodentate ligands via acidic oxygen and nitrogen of the pyridine ring. In the Cu(II) complex, the m-Hba is coordinated as monoanionic bidentate ligand through acidic oxygen and carbonyl oxygen. Dena is bonded with Cu2+ as monodentate ligand by the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring. The decomposition pathways and the stability of the complexes are interpreted in terms of the proposed structural data. The final decomposition products were found to be the respective metal oxides.
