Abstract
2,2′-Bipyridine-6-carbothioamide (bpytm) and
2,2′-bipyridine-6-carboxamide (bpyam) are NNS and NNO donors,
respectively, in their cationic bis(ligand)iron(II) and bis(ligand)nickel(II)
complexes. The former ligand provides the stronger field and salts of
[Fe(bpytm)2]2+ have a
singlet ground state, while those of
[Fe(bpyam)2]2+ have a
quintet ground state. The magnetism and the electronic and Mössbauer
spectra of salts of these cations have been measured. The low-temperature
Mössbauer spectra of iron(II) complex salts of the carboxamide indicate,
for the perchlorate and triflate salts, but not for the fluoroborate salt, a
partial transition to singlet-state species. The mode of coordination of the
ligands is indicated by infrared spectral data and has been confirmed by
determination of the structures of
[Ni(bpytm)2]
Cl2.4H2O,
[Ni(bpyam)2]
[BF4]2.H2O
and [Fe(bpyam)2]
[BF4]2. In addition, the
structures of the free ligands have been determined. Hydrogen bonding is
present in the free ligands and their complexes.
