A Short Review on Structural Concepts of Metal Complexes of Proton Transfer Salts of Pyridine-2-Carboxylic Acid

Abstract

In this study, a brief review of the proton transfer salts synthesized from the reaction of piperazine with pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and their metal complexes since 2009 was made. The metals in the studied compounds are mostly d-block metals. In complexes, the anionic component of the salt is coordinated to the metal, while the cationic component is present only as a complementary ion in a complex.
