Nickel(II) complexes prepared from NNN type ligands and pseudohalogens : Synthesis, structure and thermal decomposition

Six nickel(II) complexes, using azide and thiocyanate ions, have been synthesized from bis-2,6(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (pp) and some methyl derivatives, 2-(3,5-dimethyl(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (app) and bis-2,6(3,5-dimethyl(pyrazol-1-yl) pyridine (dmpp) in non-aqueous media. The complex structures were analyzed using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. Appropriate crystals of complex, containing azide [Nipp(N3)2]·MeOH (I) and thiocyanate [Nidmpp(SCN)2·MeOH] (VI) were prepared and the molecular structures determined using X-ray diffraction. Complex I was seen to be dinuclear as stated in literature, space group P21/n, monoclinic, a=10.503, b=10.681, c=13.291 Å, β=106.56° and Z=2 whereas complex VI was found to be mononuclear, space group P21/n, monoclinic,...

Trifluoromethoxy functionalized copper(II) Schiff base complexes N,N0 -bis(5-trifluoromethoxysalicylaldehyde)cyclohexanediiminatodiaquacopper(II) and N,N0 - bis(5-trifluoromethoxysalicylaldehyde)phenylenediiminatocopper(II) were synthesized and characterized. Thermal decompositions of the synthesized complexes were studied by thermogravimetry in order to evaluate their thermal stability and thermal decomposition pathways. Three similar decomposition steps occurred for the two copper complexes. Mass losses and evolved gasses were characterized by TG/DTA-MS. Kinetic parameters were calculated and the results showed that the values obtained are comparable.
