Abstract
Three new zinc (II)–copper (II) heterometallic trinuclear complexes of the composition [ZnCu2(Ln)(μ2-Cl)2(H2O)6]⋅2H2O (H4Ln=H4L1, H4L2, H4L3) have been synthesized from substituted succinoyldihydrazones (H4Ln) in methanol medium. The composition of the complexes has been established on the basis of data obtained from analytical, mass spectral studies and molecular weight determinations in DMSO. The structure of the ligand H4L2 has been established by X-ray crystallography. The structure of the complexes has been discussed in the light of molar conductance, magnetic moment, electronic, EPR, IR and FT-IR spectral studies. The molar conductance values for the complexes fall in the region 1.2–1.7ohm−1cm2mol−1 in DMSO solution indicating that all of these are non-electrolyte. The magnetic moment values suggest weak M–M interaction in the structural unit of the complexes. The dihydrazone ligand is present in enol form in all of the complexes. Copper centre has tetragonally distorted octahedral stereochemistry. The EPR parameters of the complexes indicate that the copper centre has doublet state as the ground state. The electron transfer reactions of the complexes have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry.
