Abstract: | For a comparison of structural data and thermal behaviour of Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with biologically important ligand,
2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole (L) the complex of the formula ZnL3](NO3)2L0.67L′0.33 was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermal
analysis (where L′ = 2-carbaldehydebenzimidazole). IR and X-ray studies have confirmed a bidentate fashion of coordination
of the 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole to Zn(II) ion (through the nitrogen atom of heteroaromatic ring and oxygen atom of hydroxymethyl
group). The zinc ion is hexacoordinated and the shape of polyhedron can be described as pseudo-octahedron (N3O3 chromophore type). The decomposition process of studied Zn(II) and Cd(II) benzimidazole complexes in the air atmosphere proceeds
in three or four main stages and traces structures of complexes. On the basis of the first DTGmax of the decompositions the thermal stability of the complexes follows the order: CdL3](NO3)2LEtOH0.25 < CdL2(NO3)2] < ZnL3](NO3)2L0.67L′0.33. As the final solid products of thermal decomposition suitable metal oxides are formed. |
