Synthesis and characterization of the adducts of Bis(O- ethyldithiocarbonato)nickel(II) with substituted pyridines

Abstract

A series of adducts of Bis(O-etnyldithiocarbonato)nickel(II) with substituted pyridines have been synthesized by treating bis(O- ethyldithiocarbonato)nickel(II) with substituted pyridines in acetone. Analytical results show that the adducts have 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry with general formula M(Xan)2 L and M(Xan)2 L2 (M = Ni, Xan = O-ethyldithiocarbonate, L = 2-, 3-and 4-amino pyridines, 3-and 4-cyano pyridines).These addition complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infrared and electronic spectral studies.
