Reaction of titanocene and zirconocene dichloride with ethyl pyruvate
aroylhydrazones (viz., ethyl pyruvate picolinoylhydrazone (EPPHyH), et
hyl pyruvate furanoylhydrazone (EPFHyH) and ethyl pyruvate thiophenoyl
hydrazone (EPTPHyH) yield complexes of the type Cp(2)M(L)(n)Cl-2-n (wh
ere M = Ti or Zr, n = 1 or 2 and L = ethyl pyruvate aroylhydrazone ani
on). The complexes have been characterised on the basis of elemental a
nalyses, IR, PMR, C-13 NMR and electronic spectra. The magnetic suscep
tibility data indicate the complexes to be diamagnetic.
