Preparation and Characterization of Complexes formed by the Reaction of Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-diazabuta-1,3-diene with Zinc, Cadmium and Mercury Chlorides

Abstract

Complexes of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-diazabuta-1,3-diene with Zn^II, Cd^II and Hg^II chlorides are synthesized; the complexes of Zn^II and Cd^II are mononuclear with the ligand as a chelate, whereas the Hg^II complex is dinuclear with the ligand bridging two Hg nuclei.
