摘要:
The bi-heterocycle, 2,2'-biimidazole (H-2Biim) forms mononuclear complexes of the type UO2(H2Biim)X2 (X = Cl, NCS); UO2(H2BiiM)2X2 (X = I, NO3, CH3COO, 0.5SO4) and Th(H2Biim)2X4 (X = 1, CNS, NO3). Further, the mixed-ligand complexes UO2(H2acacen) (H2Biim)X2 (X = Cl, NCS) and the hetero-bimetallic complex UO2(H2Biim) HgCl4 were also obtained and characterized on the basis of IR, electronic and H-1 NMR spectral evidence and thermogravimetric studies. The H-1 NMR spectrum of the free ligand shows that the ring protons are equivalent and give rise to a sharp singlet at delta 6.92 ppm and at 13.13 ppm for the imine proton (-NH). In the complexes, the two singlets at ca 7.8 and 8.5 ppm clearly confirm the inequivalence of the ring protons due to coordination of the biimidazole. The coordination also results in an upfield shift of the imine proton (-NH) signal from 13.13 to 3.5 ppm in the complexes. Although uranyl salts are known to fluoresce, in these complexes the fluorescence seems to be quenched, ruling out the involvement of H2Biim in the emission decay process.
