Structural, spectroscopic and thermal characterization of 2-tert-butylaminomethylpyridine-6-carboxylic acid methylester and its Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO2(II) complexes

摘要

Fe(III). Co(II). Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO2(II) complexes with the ligand 2-tei-t-butylaminomethylpyridine-6-carboxylic acid methylester (UL2) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, thermal analysis and spectral data. 1: 1 M:HL2 Complexes. with the general formula [M(HL2)X-2](.)nH(2)O (where M = Co(II) (X = Cl, n = 0), Ni(II) (X = Cl, n = 3), Cu(II) (grey colour, X = AcO, n = 1). CU(II) (yellow colour, X = Cl, n = 0) and Zn(II) (X = Br, n = 0). In addition, the Fe(III) and UO2(II) complexes of the type 1:2 M:HL2 and with the formulae [Fe(L-2)(2)]Cl and [UO2(HL2)(2)(NO3)(2) are prepared. From the IR data, it is seen that HL2 ligand behaves as a terdentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the pyridyl N, carboxylate 0 and protonated NH group; except the Fe(Ill) complex, it coordinates via the deprotonated NH group. This is supported by the molar conductance data, which show that all the complexes are non-electrolytes, while the Fe(III) and UO2(II) complexes are 1:1 electrolytes. IR and H-1-NMR spectral studies suggest a similar behaviour of the Zn(If) complex in solid and solution states. From the solid reflectance spectral data and magnetic moment measurements, the complexes have a trigonal bipyramidal (Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes) and octahedral (Fe(III), UO2(II) complexes) geometrical structures. The thermal behaviour of the complexes is studied and the different dynamic parameters are calculated applying Coats-Redfern equation. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
