Summary Magnetic susceptibilities of the biacetyldihydrazone (BdH) complexes [M(BdH)₃](NO₃)₂ (M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II or Zn^II), [Fe(BdH)₃](NO₃)₃, [M(BdH)₃](Ni(dto)₂] (M = Co^II, Ni^II or Zn^II; dto = dithiooxalate), [(BdH)₂Cu(dto)Ni(dto)] and [Fe(BdH)₃]₂[Ni(dto)₂]₃ have been studied in the 4.2–295 K range. Zn^II complexes are diamagnetic, and complexes of Ni^II, Cu^II and Fe^III obey the Curie-Weiss law. The Co^II complexes behave anomalously and the results are interpreted in terms of a high spinlow spin equilibrium.

Metal complexes of 2-acetylpyridine N(4)-dihexyl- and N(4)-dicyclohexylthiosemicarbazones

Summary 2-Acetylpyridine N(4)-dihexyl- and N(4)-dicyclohexylthiosemicarbazone, HAc4DHex and HAc4DCHex, respectively, and Fe^III, Co^II, Co^III, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II complexes have been prepared and characterized by molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities and spectroscopic techniques. For many of the complexes, loss of the N(2)H hydrogen occurs, and the ligands coordinate to the metal centres as NNS monoanionic, tridentate ligands, e.g., [M(NNS)X] (M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, NNS = Ac4DHex or Ac4DCHex and X = Cl or Br), [Fe(NNS)₂]ClO₄, [Co(NNS)₂]BF₄, [Cu(NNS)NO₃] and [Zn(NNS)OAc]. Zn^II ion is also chelated by neutral ligands in [Zn(HNNS)X₂] (X = Cl, Br). In addition, [Ni(Ac4DHex)-(HAc4DHex)]X (X = BF₄, ClO₄) and [Ni(HAc4DCHex)₂]-(BF₄)₂ are reported where the neutral thiosemicarbazone is coordinated via the pyridyl nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and thione sulfur. Crystal structure determinations of HAc4DCHex and [Cu(Ac4DHex)Br] show the former to contain the bifurcated hydrogen bonded form and the latter to be planar with no significant interaction between neighbouring centres.

Electrochemical synthesis and magnetic studies of neutral transition metal imidazolates and pyrazolates

Summary The single-step electrochemical synthesis of neutral transition metal complexes of imidazole, pyrazole and their derivatives has been achieved at ambient temperature. The metal was oxidized in an Me₂CO solution of the diazole to yield complexes of the general formula: [M(Iz)₂] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; Iz = imidazolate); [M(MeIz)₂] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; MeIz = 4-methylimidazolate); [M(PrⁱIz)₂] (where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; PrⁱIz = 2-isopropylimidazolate); [M(pyIz)_n] (where M = Co^III, Cu^II, Zn^II; pyIz = 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazolate); [M(Pz)_n] (where M = Co^III, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II; Pz = pyrazolate); [M(ClPz)_n] and [M(IPz)_n] (where M = Co^III, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II; ClPz = 4-chloropyrazolate; IPz = 4-iodopyrazolate); [M(Me₂Pz)_n] (where M = Co^II, Cu^I, Zn^II; Me₂Pz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate) and [M(BrMe₂Pz)_n] (where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^I, Zn^II; BrMe₂Pz = 3,5-dimethyl-4-bromopyrazolate). Vibrational spectra verified the presence of the anionic diazole and electronic spectra confirmed the stereochemistry about the metal centre. Variable temperature (360-90 K) magnetic measurements of the cobalt and copper chelates revealed strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal ions in the lattice. Data for the copper complexes were fitted to a Heisenberg (S= ) model for an infinite one-dimensional linear chain, yielding best fit values of J=–62––65cm^–1 andg = 2.02–2.18. Data for the cobalt complexes were fitted to an Ising (S= ) model with J=–4.62––11.7cm^–1 andg = 2.06–2.49.

For imi and mimi ternary complexes, the general formula [M(imi/mimi)₂(N-phthgly)₂]·nH₂O, where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II applies.
