Some Schiff's Base Complexes of Antimony(III).

Abstract

Some Schiff's base complexes of antimony(III) have been

prepared using antimony trichloride and triiodide separately. The

Schiff's base ligands have been obtained by condensation of salicylaldehyde

with amines (ethylamine, aniline, o-toluidine), amides

(acetamide,benzamide) and ureas (urea, thiourea). It has been observed

that the complexes are readily formed just on slight warming.

In case of antimony triiodide, two iodines are readily attacked but

in case of antimony trichloride all the three chlorines are attacked.

The complexes with urea and thiourea involve macrocyclic Schiff's

base ligands.
