摘要:
The reaction of green vitriol (FeSO4,7H(2)O) With 1-alkyl-2-(arylazo)imidazoles [RaaiR ' where R = H (a), Me (b); R ' = Me (1/3/5), Et (2/4/6)] and NH4SCN in 1:2:2 mole proportion affords mononuclear bis-chelated [Fe(RaaiR ')(2)(SCN)(2)] (3, 4) complexes. Reaction of NiSO4 center dot 6H(2)O with 1-alkyl-2(arylazo)imidazole and ammonium thiocyanate (1:2:2 molar ratio) in methanol solution forms mononuclear monochelated thiocyanato complexes of the type [Ni(RaaiR ')(H2O)(2)(SCN)2] center dot 2H2O (5, 6). Slow diffusion of DMF solution of [Ni(MeaaiMe)(H2O)(2)(NCS)(2)] in methanol has isolated the X-ray quality crystals. All the complexes are characterized by elemental, UY-Vis, IR, thermal and magnetic studies. In both cases, the distorted octahedral structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study of [Fe(MeaaiEt)(2)(NCS)(2)] (4b) and [Ni(MeaaiMe)(H2O)(2)(NCS)(2)] center dot 2DMF (7). Variable temperature susceptibility measurements of [Fe(MeaaiEt)(2)(NCS)(2)] (4b) do not exhibit spin crossover property, which may be due to high structural distortion. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
