Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies of Novel Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) Mixed Ligand Complexes With Saccharin and Nicotinamide

Abstract

Four novel mixed ligand complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with saccharin and nicotinamide were synthesised and characterised on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopic study, UV-Vis spectrometric and magnetic susceptibility data. The structure of the Cu (II) complex is completely different from those of the Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes. From the frequencies of the saccharinato CO and SO<inf>2</inf> modes, it has been proven that the saccharinato ligands in the structure of the Cu complex are coordinated to the metal ion ([Cu(NA)<inf>2</inf>(Sac)<inf>2</inf>(H<inf>2</inf>O)], where NA - nicotinamide, Sac - saccharinato ligand or ion), whilst in the Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes are uncoordinated and exist as ions ([M(NA)<inf>2</inf>(H<inf>2</inf>O)<inf>4</inf>](Sac)<inf>2</inf>). © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
