B. Burda et al., OXO-TRICYANO COMPLEXES OF MOLYBDENUM(IV) AND TUNGSTEN(IV) WITH BIDENTATE SCHIFF-BASES, Transition metal chemistry, 20(3), 1995, pp. 291-294
The reaction of [M(CN)(4)O(OH2)](2-) (M = Mo or W) with 2-acetylpyridi
ne and methyl- or butyl-amine in a water-MeOH mixture gave [M(CN)(3)O(
L-L)](-) (L-L = Schiff base ligand), isolated as [AsPh(4)](+) salts. T
he complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, and electr
onic, i.r. and H-1-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The Schiff base ligands comple
x in a bidentate manner through the two nitrogen atoms giving mixed-li
gand compounds similarly to 2,2'-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline.
