Bv. Agarwala et al., THE EXCHANGE PROCESSES IN ZINC-COMPLEXES OF O-VANILLIN SALICYLOYLHYDRAZONE AS STUDIED BY 2-DIMENSIONAL NMR, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 70(11-12), 1993, pp. 967-972
Zinc forms two types of complexes with o-vanillin salicyloylhydrazone.
The H-1 and C-13 nmr studies suggest that it coordinates with azometh
ine nitrogen, the carbonyl oxygen and with one or both of the phenolic
oxygens. The H-1-H-1 and H-1 decoupled C-13-C-13 two-dimensional nucl
ear Overhauser and exchange spectra show that there is an exchange bet
ween the two types of complexes.
