Abstract
Transition metal [Pt(IV), Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II)] complexes of 5-amino-1-(aryl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (aryl =C6H5, C6H4CH3 and C6H4-OCH3) were prepared and characterized by microchemical analyses, infrared, electronic spectra and thermogravimetric analyses. The infrared spectra showed that these ligands coordinate to metal ions in a bidentate manner. Moreover, octahedral structures are suggested for all the studied complexes.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I am greatly thankful to Dr. Wahid M. Basyouni, Pesticide Chemistry Department, National Research Centre, Giza, Egypt, for providing the organic ligands.
