Abstract-The complex formation of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(I1) with aminopyrophthalone was studied by means of electronic, IR, EPR and ‘H-NMR spectroscopy. It was established that with Co(I1) and Ni(I1) two isomeric complexes are formed in contrast to Zn(I1) and Cu(I1) complex formation. On the basis of the spectral data obtained the coordination mode and structure of the complex species are assumed.
We have already studied the complexation properties of some derivatives of 1,3-indandione, namely of 2-(2-pyridyl)- 1,3-indandione or pyrophthalone (PPH), 2-(2-quinolyl)- 1,3-indandione or quinophthalone (QPH) and 3-amino-2-(2-pyridyl)indenone or iminopyrophthalone (IPH) towards some transition metal ions.ie3 These ligands are used as dyes, organic semiconductors, and anti-inflammatory and anaesthetic agents.“8 The structure of the pyrophthalone and iminopyrophthalone complexes with Cu(II)--one of the most important biometals, was studied in detail.‘*2 In the present paper the results obtained for the Co(II), Ni(I1) and Zn(I1) complexes of iminopyrophthalone are reported, emphasizing mainly the mode of coordination of the ligand.

In order to obtain some structural information IR, EPR and ‘H-NMR investigations were provided. In Table 2 the IR data obtained for the complexes studied together with that for Cu(IP)*’ are presented. It is evident that the IR spectral data for Zn(IP)* are very similar to that of Cu(IP),, showing a similarity of their mode of coordination as well. For Cu(IP)* chelation through enolic oxygen and nitrogen atom from the pyridyl ring (str. I) has been found. By means of EPR and magnetic susceptibility data a depressed tetrahedral or rhombic symmetry with slightly mis-aligned tetragonal axes was assumed.‘*’

Nickel and zinc were determined complexometrically at pH 10 and indicators murexide for nickel and eriochrom T for zinc after ashing the sample and dissolving the residue in HN03 (2: 1). Cobalt was determined photometrically with nitroso-R-salt at 1= 500 nm after wet oxidative destruction of the sample with cont. HN03, evaporation near dryness and dissolving the residue in water.

The IR data for the Co(I1) and Ni(I1) complexes show the simultaneous presence of carbonyl, iminoand amino (v’ and vas) vibrations. Therefore simultaneous formation of two isomeric complexes (str. I and II) of Co(I1) and Ni(I1) should be assumed. These results are in agreement with the HPLC and ‘H-NMR data obtained. The chromatograms of Cu(I1) and Zn(I1) complexes show one single peak, while these of Co(I1) and Ni(I1) complexes show two peaks (Fig. l), thus suggesting the presence of two isomeric species. The ‘H-NMR data obtained for Ni(IP)2 and Zn(IP), in the range O-20 ppm together with that

The comparison of IPH and Zn(IP), spectra indicates on the Zn(I1) chelation through enolic oxygen and nitrogen from pyridyl ring. In Zn(IP)* spectrum instead of NH2 doublet at 9.26 and 10.23 ppm’ a new peak at 10.1 ppm due to =NH group appears. The doublet of Hz proton is strongly shifted and the multiplet due to H6,9protons is affected as well, namely a doublet at 7.70 ppm is observed, assigned to the Hs proton and the new peak at 8.93 ppm should be assigned to the Hg proton. The shifts of the H2 and Hg protons signals indicates the coordination of Zn(II) to the neighbouring N- and Oatoms respectively. In the Ni(IP)2 spectrum a greater number of signals is observed. A new low-field doublet (14.4 and 14.9 ppm) is present due most probably to coordinated NH2 group and an =NH singlet is also
observed indicating the presence of the other isomer. In this case. the H2 proton neighbouring the pyridyl nitrogen is also shifted as well as the signals due to H, and Hp. For H9 two different peaks are observed, due most probably to the Hg protons of the two isomers. The EPR study of the Co(IP), complex [powder sample, diamagnetically diluted with Zn(IP)d in the range 700-5700 Oe at - 190°C showed that only one almost isotropic singlet line @ = 2.002 &-0.001) was observed, thus proving the oxidation state +2 for the complex. According to the literature data” the EPR results show that for the Co(IP), complex a planar structure seems more likely than a tetrahedral one. The fact that Co(I1) and Ni(I1) are forming two isomeric complexes with IPH in contrast to Cu(I1) and Zn(II) is rather surprising taking into account the very close values of their ionic radii.12 Most probably the simultaneous formation of the two

different types of complexes with Co(I1) and Ni(I1) is due to a proper steric orientation and energy level of the nitrogen atom orbitals of NH2 group, for which overlapping with d-orbitals only of Co(I1) and Ni(I1) is possible.
