Acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid (AcSHA) was prepared and characterized. Its pK
(a) value was determined as 7.78. Solid metal complexes of AcSHA were also
prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and i.r. spect
roscopies, and by magnetic moment measurements. The shift of both hydroxami
c and acetyl carbonyl vibrations to lower frequencies clearly indicates tha
t AcSHA is bonded through oxygen atoms to the metal ions as a tridentate li
gand. On the basis of the experimental data, structures for the complexes a
re purposed.
