Abstract
New dihydrazinium divalent transition metal trimellitate hydrates of empirical formula (N2H5)2M(Html) 2· nH2O, where n - 1 for M - Co or Ni, and n - 2 for M - Mn, Zn, or Cd (H3tml - trimellitic acid), and monohydrazinium cadmium trimellitate, [(N2H5)Cd(Html) 15· 2H2O] have been prepared and characterized by physicochemical methods. Electronic spectroscopic, and magnetic moment data suggest that Co and Ni complexes adopt an octahedral geometry. The IR spectra confirm the presence of monodentate carboxylate anion (δm - m asy(COO-) - msym(COO-) > 190 cm-1) and coordinated N2H5+ ion (mn-n 1015-990 cm-1) in all the complexes. All the complexes undergo endothermic decomposition eliminating CO2 in the temperature region 200-250 °C, followed by exothermic decomposition (in the range of 500-570 °C) of organic moiety to give the respective metal carbonate as the end products except nickel and cobalt complexes, which leave respective metal oxides. X-ray powder diffraction patterns reveal that Ni and Co complexes are isomorphous as are those of, Zn(II) and Cd(II) of the type, (N2H5)2M(Html)2· 2H 2O.
