Ym. Issa et al., SEPARATION AND STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF MANGANESE(II), COBALT(II), NICKEL(II), COPPER(II) AND CADMIUM(II) COMPLEXES OF BENZILIC AND MANDELIC ESTERS, Transition metal chemistry, 20(5), 1995, pp. 423-425
Solid metal complexes of benzilic and mandelic esters have been prepar
ed and their structure elucidated using vis., i.r., n.m.r. and e.s.r.
spectra. The results of elemental analysis are commensurate with the p
roposed formulae. Spectral studies indicate that the Ni complexes are
octahedral, whereas the Co and Cu analogoues are distorted octahedral.
