Synthesis and Properties of Some Metal Complexes and Organometallic Compounds of Phthalic Acid

Abstract

Metal complexes [CuL·2H₂O·2DMF] (I), Na₂[CuL₂·2H₂O]·4DMF (II),

Na₄[CuL₃]·5DMF (III), [CuL·2DP]·2DMF (IV), Na₂[CuL₂·DP]·5DMF

(V), [NiL·2H₂O·2DMF] (VI), Na₂[NiL₂·DMF] (VII), Na₄[NiL₃]·3.5DMF

(VIII), [NiL·2DP]·0.5DMF (IX) and Na2[NiL₂·DP]·DMF (X) (where L,

DMF and DP are phthalate dianion, dimethylformamide and 1,3-diaminopropane,

respectively) and organometallic compounds Cu(C₇H₄O₂)·

(2H₂O) (XI), Ni(C₇H₄O₂)(2H₂O) (XII) and Zn(C₇H₄O₂)(DMF) (XIII)

(derived from phthalic acid) have been prepared andd characterised by

elemental analysis, conductivity measurements and spectral studies.
