Studies of Thorium(IV) and Dioxouranium(VI) Complexes of a Schiff Base: Part 2.

Abstract

A new series of Th(IV) and UO₂ (VI) with a Schiff base derived
from condensation of p-amino ethylbenzoate and p-(N,N'-dicyanoethyl)
amino benzaldehyde having general composition
ThX₄·nL (X = NO₃^-,  n = 2;  X = NCS^-,  n = 2;  X = I^-,  n = 4;  X =
ClO4^-,  n = 6) and UO₂X₂·2L (X = NO₃^-),  I^-,  NCS^-  or  CH₃COO^- )
and UO₂(ClO₄)₂·4L  where L is the Schiff base. The complexes were
characterized on the basis of analytical conductance, molecular
weight and spectral studies. The Schiff base behaves as a neutral
monodentate ligand which coordinate to the central metal atom
thtough azomethine nitrogen.
