Abstract I’ This thesis comprises three chapters, the first of which deals with a general review on the reactivity of coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes towards imidazole and pyrazole. This chapter also includes the aim of investigation and statement of the problem. The second chapter is devoted to a detailed discussion of the results obtained throughout the work and contains three main parts. The first part deals with the synthesis and characterization of some copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes derived from, N-salicylidene-S-methylhydrazinecarbodithioate [H2Sal.SCH3], N-salicylidene-S-benzylhydrazinecarbodithioate [H2Sa1.SBz] and N-salicylidene hydrazinecarbothioamide [H2Sal.NH2]’ The reactivity of these complexes towards some Lewis bases such as imidazole and pyrazole is also discussed in this part. The isolated copper(JI) and nickel(II) complexes derived from the reactions of copper(II) acetate and nickel(II) acetate with N-salicylidene-S-methyl - and S-benzylhydrazinecarbodithioate as well as N-salicylidene hydrazinecarbothioamide using I: I molar ratio were reinvestigated and the dimeric complexes were isolated and characterized by elemental analysis as well as I.R spectra .. The ultraviolet- visible spectra imply square planar structures and confirm the dimeric nature of these complexes. The reaction of dimeric copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of [{M(Sal.SCH)) h] , [ {M(Sal.SBz) hJ and [ {M(Sal.NH2) hJ where M is Cu or Ni with imidazole (HIm) using (I: I) molar ratio afforded the corresponding monomeric imidazole adducts [M(Sal.SCH3)Hlm], [M(Sal.SBz)HIm] and [Ni(Sal.NH2)HIm]. These adducts have been characterized by elemental analysis, JR, UV -Visible, and ’Hnmr spectra. The reaction of [{Cu(Sal.SCH3h}] with imidazole (HIm) using (1: I) molar ratio in presence of KOH proceeded with the deprotonation of the imidazole and eventually gave the irnidazolate bridged binuclear copper(IJ) complexes of the formula K[ {Cu(Sal.SCH.~)b Irn]. This imidazolate copper(II) complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV - Visible spectra. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements over the temperature range (4.2-297° K). |
