Preparation and Characterization of Dioxotungsten (VI) Complexes of Schiff Bases Derived from Salicylaldehydes and O-Aminothiophenol

Several dioxotungsten(VI) complexes of the type WO₂L and WO₂L.X (where LH₂ = Schiff base derived from o-aminothiophenol and salcylaldehyde, 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, and X = dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or pyridine) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductance, magnetic and spectral measurements. These complexes are non-electrolyte, diamagnetic, six-coordinated and possess an octahedral geometry.
