Abstract

The reactions of mono(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) trichloride and bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV)/zirconium(IV) dichloride with Schiff bases, derived by condensing 4-aminoantipyrine with benzaldehyde (L1), furfuraldehyde (L2), pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde (L3) or salicylaldehyde (L4H), have been studied in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane and products of types [Cp2M(L)Cl]Cl, [CpTiCl 3(L)] (L = L1, L2 or L3); [Cp 2M(L4)]Cl, [CpTiCl2(L4)], [CpTi(L4)2]Cl [M = TiIV or ZrIV] have been isolated. Tentative structures are proposed for these complexes based upon elemental analyses, electrical conductance and spectral (electronic, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR) data. Attempts have been made to establish a correlation between antibacterial activity and the structures of the products.
