Abstract
The reactions of equimolar amounts of mono(cyclopentadienyl)-titanium(IV) trichloride with different schiff bases in anhydrous dichloromethane have yielded complexes of the types (C5H5)TiCl3.SB and (C5H5)TiCl.(SB′) (where SB = schiff bases derived from carbohydrazide and benzaldehyde, m-nitrobenzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, acetophenone, p-hydroxyacetophenone, anisaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and vanilline; SB'H2 = Schiff bases derived from carbohydrazide and salicylaldehyde, o-hydroxyacetophenone). A study of the conductance, magnetic susceptibility, electronic, infrared and 1H n.m.r. spectra of these complexes in addition to the elemental analyses has been carried out to elucidate the probable structure of these derivatives. The ligands of the type SB act as neutral tridentate chelating agents, whereas those of type SB'H2 act as dibasic, tetradentate chelating agents.
