Studies on Tetrametallic Complexes of l,l-Bis(Selenocyanatomercurio)Ferrocene

Abstract

Novel adducts having four different metals of general formula [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄H_gSeCN)₂M(NCX)₂M¹(salen)] [M = Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II); M¹ = Co(II), Ni′(II); X = S, Se; and salen = (OC₆H₄CH=NCH₂)₂] have been prepared by reaction of [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄H_gSeCN)₂M(NCX)₂] with M (salen). All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, infrared and electronic spectral studies. The studies indicate that the geometry around M in the complexes is octahedral.
