BIHETEROCYCLIC LIGANDS: SYNTHESIS AND COORDINATING PROPERTIES OF 2-(1-INDAZOLYL)BENZOTHIAZOLE TOWARDS SOME TRANSITION METAL IONS

Abstract

Metal complexes of the type ML₂Cl₂ and M′₂L₂Cl₆ where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), M′ = Ru(III) or Rh(III) and L = 2-(1-indazolyl)benzothiazole have been prepared and characterized. The IR spectra reveal that the ligand is bidentate coordinating through the N-atoms of both the indazole and benzothiazole groups. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and the electronic spectral data suggest a six-coordinated octahedral structures for these complexes.
