Abstract

Two novel series of complexes of types [La(DAPCH)X2]X and [La(DAPTC)X2]X (DAPCH = a potentially pentadentate ligand derived from 2,6-diacetylpyridine and carbohydrazide; DAPTC = a potentially tridentate ligand derived from 2,6-diacetylpyridine and thiocarbohydrazide; X = Cl, Br or NO3) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, conductance measurements and IR spectral data. All these complexes contain terminal hydrazinic nitrogen atoms with an unshared electron pair and may take part in nucleophilic condensations. Therefore, the reactions of these complexes with 2,6-diacetylpyridine have also been studied which cause ring closure and formation of macrocyclic ligand complexes. Two types of cyclic products, viz. mononuclear [La(mac)X2]X, [La(mac′)X2]X and binuclear [La2(mac)X4]X2, [La2(mac′)X4]X2 (mac- = macrocyclic ligand derived from DAPCH and 2,6-diacetylpyridine; mac′ = macrocyclic ligand derived from DAPTC and 2,6-diacetylpyridine; X = Cl, Br or NO3) have been isolated by carrying out the reactions by different methods. The IR spectra of these cyclic products are reported.
