Synthesis and properties of mononuclear and binuclear molybdenum complexes derived from bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)oxaloyldihydrazone

The monomer molybdenum(VI) complex [MoO(2)(napoxlhH(2))].2H(2)O (1) has been synthesized from the reaction of MoO(2)(acac)(2) with bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)oxaloyldihydrazone (napoxlhH(4)) in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol under reflux. This complex on reaction with pyridine/3-picoline/4-picoline yielded the dimer molybdenum(VI) complexes [Mo(2)O(4)(napoxlhH(2))(2)(A)(2)].2H(2)O (A=py (2), 3-pic (3), 4-pic (4)), whereas reaction with isonicotinoylhydrazine (inhH(3)) and salicyloylhydrazine (sylshH(3)) lead to the reduction of the metal centre yielding monomeric molybdenum(V) complexes [Mo(napoxlhH(2))(hzid)].2H(2)O (where hzidH(3)=inhH(3) (5) and sylshH(3) (6)). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, molar conductance data, magnetic moment data, electronic, IR, ESR and (1)H NMR spectroscopic studies. The complexes (5) and (6) are paramagnetic to the extent of one unpaired electron. The electronic spectra of the complexes are dominated by strong charge transfer bands. In all of the complexes, the principal dihydrazone ligand has been suggested to coordinate to the metal centres in the anti-cis-configuration. The complexes (1), (5) and (6) are suggested to have six-coordinate octahedral stereochemistry around molybdenum(VI) and molybdenum(V) metal centres, respectively, while the complexes (2)-(4) are suggested to have eight coordinate dodecahedral stereochemistry around molybdenum(VI) metal centre.

Synthesis and spectral characterization of zinc(II), copper(II), nickel(II) and manganese(II) complexes derived from <Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde) malonoyldihydrazone

The present study shows that the reaction of different salts of the same metal with sterically crowded dihydrazone bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)malonoyldihydrazone (CH₂LH₄) in ethanol/aqueous media gives complexes of different stereochemistry. While the reaction of zinc(II) and copper(II) sulphate with dihydrazone yields tetrahedral complexes, the zinc(II) and copper(II) chlorides give square pyramidal and distorted octahedral complexes, respectively. On the other hand, nickel(II) sulphate and chloride, both give high-spin octahedral complexes with dihydrazone, manganese sulphate gives low-spin octahedral and manganese(II) chloride gives high-spin octahedral complexes. The reaction of these complexes with KF has been investigated. All of the products have been characterized by analytical, magnetic moment and molar conductivity data. The structures of the complexes have been established by spectroscopic studies.
