Metal complexes of sulfur-nitrogen chelating agents. V. 2-N-Ethylaminocyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(I)

Abstract

2-N-Ethylaminocyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (EACDA) acts as an ambidentate ligand toward several metal ions. Bis-chelates have been obtained with Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), and Co(II), and tris-chelate with Co(III). Cu(I) forms a 1:1 complex. The bonding sites involved in the metal chelates and their stereochemistry have been ascertained from electronic, infrared and nmr spectra, magnetic moment, and thermal analysis. In the Co(II) and Co(III) chelates bonding takes place from (S,S-) donor sites, whereas in the Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II) chelates (N,S-) type bonding occurs. The Cu(I) complex appears to be polymeric in nature.
