Eight new complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid, (INH)) and isonicotinic acid (1-naphthylmethylene) hydrazide (INNMH), having the formula of the type [M(INH)(ac)2] or [M(INNMH)(ac)2] (M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)) and [Cu(INH)(ac)2]2, [Cu(INNMH)(ac)2]2, were synthesized and characterized. All complexes were characterized based on elemental analyses, and IR, UV-VIS-NIR and EPR spectroscopy, as well as by thermal analysis and determination of their molar conductivity and magnetic moments. The structure of INNMH was established by single crystal X-ray analysis. In all complexes, both ligands were coordinated to the metal via N and O. The complexes of Cu (II) were dimeric, with four bridges between acetate ions and Cu(II).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
