S. Akyuz, FT-IR spectroscopic investigation of transition metal (II) 2-aminopyridinetetracyanonickelate complexes, VIB SPECTR, 22(1-2), 2000, pp. 49-54
A series of Hofmann-type clathrate host molecules containing two 2-aminopyr
idine (2-Apy) groups attached to transition metal (II) (M) tetracyanonickel
ate frame, with the formula: M(2Apy)(2)Ni(CN)(4) (where M = Mn, Co, Cu or Z
n), have been synthesised for the first time. Their FT-IR spectra are repor
ted in the 400-4000 cm(-1) region. The spectral features suggest that the c
ompounds are substantially isostructural to that of already known Hofmann t
ype pyridine complex; M(py)(2)Ni(CN)(4). Moreover, 2Apy pyridine molecules
are found to involve coordination through the ring nitrogen. The coordinati
on effect on the 2Apy modes was analysed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. Al
