Synthesis, Magnetic, Spectral and Thermal Studies of Palldium(II) Complexes with Some potentially Bidentate Heterocyclic Nitrogen Donors

Abstract

Some palladium(II) complexes of the type [PdLCl₂] with bidentate heterocyclic nitrogen donors like prochloroperazine, trifluoroperazine and thioridazine have been synthesised and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infra red and electronic spectral data. The conductometric measurements of these complexes in water, chloroform and DMF indicate their nonelectrolyte nature. TG and DTA data show that these complexes are thermally stable upto 240ºC and they decompose to yield pure palladium oxide. On the basis of the above data, square planar geometry has been suggested for these complexes.
