Study of the Coordination Chemistry of Ferrocene-Containing Pywole Derivatives with IIB Group Metal Ions

Abstract Complexes of the type [(3-Fc, 5-Me)Pz]n'MCl2 [Fc = ferrocenyl, Pz = pyrazole, M = Zn(II), Cd(II) and n = 1 or 2] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR spectra and cyclic voltammetry Elemental analyses reveal a ligand to metal ratio of 1. 1 for Cd(II) and 2 : 1 for Zn(II). No satisfactory elemental analysis results were obtained for the Hg(II) complex due to possible decomposition of the ligand.
