Rb. Mohod et al., Synthetic, structural and electrical studies of some polychelates derived from bis(mercaptoacetamido)-3,3'-dimethoxybenzidene, J INDIAN CH, 78(1), 2001, pp. 34-36
The polychelates of Mn-II, Co-II, Ni-II, Cu-II, Zn-II and Cd-II-bis(mercapt
oacetamido)dimethoxybenzedine (BMADMB) have been prepared. In these chelate
s, the ligand BMADMB exhibits bis-bidentate character and coordinates symme
trically with the metal through nitrogen of amido and sulfur of mercapto gr
oups. Thermogravimetric studies indicate a two-stage decomposition. The the
rmodynamic parameters and the order of reactions have been calculated from
the TG data and comparable values are obtained. D.C. electrical conductivit
y of all the chelates have also been measured over 303-403 K range.
