Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Mixed Catechol-Salicylaldiminate Derivatives of Antimony (III) and Tin (IV)

Abstract

MixedØ¢  catechol- Ø¢ salicyladiminenate derivatives of antimony

)

 

(III) and tin (IV) of the general formula M(cate)L"]X, [where:M= Sb, X= Ø¢ 0; Ø¢ M=Sn, Ø¢ X= Ø¢ Cl; Ø¢ cate=catechol; Ø¢ n=l, Ø¢ L=aniline, Ø¢ n=2, Ø¢ L=mآ­ bromo-aniline, n=3, L=p-bromoaniline] were prepared by the reaction of equimolar amount of [(cate)MCln], [where n=l Ø¢ or 2] with Nآ­ arylsalicylaldimines HOC6H4CH=NC6Hs (HL1Ø¢  , HOC6H4CH= NC6H4

)

 

(HL1

and p-HOC6H4CH = NC6 Br (HL3)Ø¢ in methanol as a solvent.

   

These new derivatives were characterised by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods [(I.R), (U.V-Vis) and ctH, 13C NMR for HL2Ø¢  ] along with conductivity and melting point measurements.Ø¢  Ø¢ These studies Ø¢ revealed Ø¢ that Ø¢ the Ø¢ geometry about Ø¢ Sb Ø¢ (ill) Ø¢ and Ø¢ Sn Ø¢ (IV) is

tetrahedral.
