Kh. Halawani et Ah. Mostafa, PREPARATION AND CHLORINATION OF COBALT(II) AND NICKEL(II) COMPLEXES OF 3-HYDROXYPYRIDINE, Transition metal chemistry, 18(6), 1993, pp. 564-566
[MCl(2)L(4)] complexes (M=Co or Ni;L=3-hydroxypyridine) were prepared
by the reaction of stoichiometric amounts of 3-hydroxypyridine and MCl
(2) in EtOH solution. The complexes were chlorinated by passing Cl-2 g
as through EtOH solutions containing the metal(II) chloride and 3-hydr
oxypyridine to yield [CoCl2(LCl)(2)].2H(2)O and [NiCl2(LCl)(4)].4H(2)O
, respectively. Structural assignments have been inferred from element
al and spectral analyses. Magnetic properties of the complexes are ass
igned and the electronic transitions are discussed.
