Ai. Alwassil et al., COORDINATION CHEMISTRY OF THENOYLTRIFLUOROACETONE 1-SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF IN3-THENOYLTRIFLUOROACETONE COMPLEX(), Spectroscopy letters, 31(2), 1998, pp. 299-305
In3+-thenoyltrifluoroacetone In3+(TTA)(3) Complex has been prepared by
reaction of In(SO4)(3).2H(2)O and thenoyltrifluoroacetone ligand in p
resence of acetate buffer. The complex has been investigated by conven
tional chemical and physical methods of analysis. Microanalytical data
of the investigated complex showed the formula of the complex to be I
n(TTA)(3) formula. Trials to prepare mixed ligand complexes starting w
ith In(TTA)(3) using neutral co-ligand were unsucessful. The complex i
s soluble in ethanol and could be of potential use in clinical studies
.
