Carbonyl metal derivatives of schiff bases and schiff base complexes of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III)

摘要

Free schiff bases, copper(II), nickel(II) complexes of schiff bases and mixed ligand complexes of cobalt(III) are subjected to carbonyl chromium insertion reactions. Carbonyl chromium incorporated complexes with tricarbonyl chromium. Cr(CO)_3 groups bonded to phenyl rings have been isolated and characterised by FTIR, UV-visible, ~1H NMR and FABMS spectroscopic methods. Preferential binding of Cr(CO)_3 groups to phenyl rings are discussed.
