B. Singh et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HETEROBINUCLEAR (LA-ZN, PR-ZN, ND-ZN, SM-ZN, EU-ZN, GD-ZN, TB-ZN, DY-ZN) AZINE-BRIDGED COMPLEXES, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 36(1), 1997, pp. 72-76
Zinc(II) complex of 2-acetylpyridine salicyl aldazine (Haps) of the ty
pe Zn(aps)(2)(H2O)(2) has been synthesised. The reaction of Zn(aps)(2)
(H2O)(2) with latathanide chlorides, LnCl(3) (where Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm,
Eu, Gd, Tb and Dy) yields azine-bridged heterobinuclear complexes of
the formulae LnCl(3)Zn(aps)(2)(H2O)(2). These complexes have been char
acterized by elemental analyses molecular weight, conductance (solid a
nd solution) and magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, IR and el
ectronic spectral data. X-ray powder diffraction data indicate the tet
ragonal unit lattice for Zn(aps)(2)(H2O)(2) and PrCl3Zn(aps)(2)(H2O)(2
).
