COMPLEXES WITH LIGANOS CONTAINING NITRILE GROUPS XVII * THE LIGANO PROPERTIES OF SOME OINITRILES. A.P. Zuur, Miss P.L.A. Eversteijn and W.L. Groeneveld. Oepartment of Inorganic Chemistry,

~ece~edlOSep~m~r1974) A number of metal-chloro-antimonate
solvates is reported containing the ligands
succino nitrile (an), terephtalo nitrile [tn) and dodecane dinitrile [dn).The formulas are: M(II)(sn)3[SbCl6) 2 and M[II)(tn)6[SbOl6) 2 in which M is Co and Ni; M[ll)(dn)3(SbC16) 2 in which M is Co, Ni and Cu. Ligend field and infra red spectra indicate regular oetahedral coordination of the ligands around the M(II) ions, only in the case of the Cu[II) ion a slight distortion of this symmetry is found.

In the complexes containing dodecane dinitrile
(dn) as the ligand, no YC~N
of non-bonded nitrile occurs in the infra red region, indicating that this ligand acts as a bidentate.
It is remarkable that these complexes were ob-
tained as crystalline precipitates. From the size and shape of this ligand one would expect liquid or amorphous products with low melting points. The two shifted nitrile frequencies in the copper complex indicate a static or dynamic O4h distortion from the octehedral symmetry as found previously
(12,13). In the complexes Midn) 2+ 3 [ SbCl~) 2 several b r i d g i n g
