SUBSTITUTION-REACTIONS OF K-3[CR(SCN)(6)] WITH BENZTRIAZOLE

By substitution, a thiocyanate containing the complex anion [Cr(SCN)(4 )(Benztriazole)(2)](-) was prepared from anhydrous K-3[Cr(SCN)(6)] and benztriazole in the absence of solvents. The formation of salts using hydrochlorides of heterocyclic amines, alkaloids and Co(III)-amine co nfirms the structure of the above anion. Thermal stabilities and tile mechanism of pyrolysis were investigated thermogravimetrically. For th e clarification of structural problems, UV and IR spectra mere recorde d.
