Bi and Trivalent transition metal complexes of dithiocarbamates derived from 2 , 6 - diacetyl pyridine

Some new 3d-series transition metal complexes of types ML{M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)} and M’2L3 {M’=Cr(III) and Fe(III)} with dithiocarbamate ligand derived from 2,6-diacetyl pyridine have been prepared by the replacement reaction method. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements and infrared spectral studies. All the complexes were non-electrolyte in nature. Infrared spectral data of these complexes showed the bidentate behaviour of ligand and the metals were found to be tetra and hexa-coordinated in ML and M’2L3 type of complexes respectively.
