Complexes of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), And Copper Acetates, Perchlorates, and Tetrafluoroborates with Heterocyclic Ligands Containing Va and Via Group Donor Atoms

Abstract

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), and copper(I) acetate, perchlorate, and tetrafluoroborate complexes with thiazolidine-2-thione, thiomorpholin-3-one, and thiomorpholin-3-thione have been prepared. On the basis of infrared and far infrared spectra, electronic spectroscopy, magnetism, and molecular conductance, the stereochemistries of these complexes were identified. Assignments for the metal–ligand modes have also been made. By the use of infrared spectroscopy it has been possible to distinguish whether or not the polyanions present in the complexes are coordinated to the transition metal ion or are present as free ions. Spectroscopic parameters for the complexes have been calculated and compared with similar chromophores containing sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen donor atoms.
