Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of some new organometallic chelates derived from bidentate ligands

Abstract

A series of organosilicon(IV) and organotin(IV) complexes having the formulae R_2MCl(L^1), R_2MCl(L^2), R_2MCl(L^3), R_2MCl(L^4), R_2M(L^1)_2, R_2M(L^2)_2, R_2M(L^3)_2, and R_2M(L^4)_2, where M = Si and Sn, and R = CH_3, were synthesized with Schiff bases 5-mercapto-4-(pyridine-2-carboxalideneamino)-s-triazole (HL^1), 4-(furfuralideneamino)-5mercapto-s-triazole (HL^2), 4-(2-chlorobenzylideneamino)-5-mercapto-s-triazole (HL^3), and 4-(4-flourobenzylideneamino)-5-mercapto-s-triazole (HL^4). These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, and spectroscopic studies, including UV, IR, ^1H, ^{13}C, ^{29}Si, and ^{119}Sn NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of these studies, the resulting complexes are proposed to have trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral geometries.
