Synthesis characterization of Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of 2,12-dimethyl-3-13-di-n-propyl-l,4,ll,14-tetraazacycloeicosa-1,13,l1,13-tetraene

Abstract

Metal complexes of a 20-membered tetraazamacrocycle 2,12-dimethyl-3,13-di-n-propyl 1,4,11,14-tetraazacycloeicosa-1,3,11,13-tetraene(L) of the type [MLX2]X(M=Cr(III), Fe(III); X=NO3)[CoLNO3]NO3, [NiL(NO3)2], [CuL]Cl2 and [ZnLCl2]have been prepared by 2+2 cyclocondensation of 2,3-hexanedione with 1,6-diaminohexane in the presence of metal ions as templates. These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductances, IR and electronic spectra and magnetic measurements.
