Studies of Some Transition Metal Chelate Monomers

Abstract

Some metal chelates of monomers have been synthesized by the
interaction of Ni(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) acrylate with
2,2'-bipyridylamine in alcohol. All these metal chelate monomers
are coloured, crystalline powders insoluble in many of the organic
solvents. They are characterized by UV-visible spectra, infrared
spectra, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and megnetic
susceptibility measurements. All metal chelate monomers
show a six coordinated structure and suggest octahedral geometry.
Conductometric studies indicate that these metal chelate monomers
are non-electrolytes.
