Eight new complexes, [M(CO) 5 (5msalmsh)] [M=Cr;(1a), Mo;(2a); W(3a)], [Re(CO) 4 Br(5msalmsh)] (4a), [M(CO) 5 (5mafmsh)] [M=Cr;(1b), Mo;(2b); W(3b)], [Re(CO) 4 Br(5mafmsh)] (4b), have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of the metal carbonyls [M(CO) 6 ] (M=Cr, Mo, W) and [Re(CO) 5 Br] with N´-(2-Hydroxy-6-Methylbenzylidene) Methanesulfonohydrazide ( 5msalmsh) and 5-methyl-2-hydroxyacetophenonemethanesulfonylhydrazone (5mafmsh). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, LC-MS, FT-IR, 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies show that 5msalmsh and 5mafmsh behave monodentate ligand and coordinate via an imine N donor atom to the central metal atom in (1a)-( 4a) and ( 1b)-(4b).
