Abstract

S. G. Singh and B. H. Mehta*

Metal(II) complexes of the type ML2 [Where M-Pd (II),] oxime derived from furfural and hydroxylamine hydrochloride and ML3 nH2O [where M-Ru(III), Rh(III), n=2] have been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility studies and X-ray diffraction spectra. Molar conductivity measurements indicate that the complexes are non-elctrolytic in nature. From the analytical and spectral data, the stoichiometry of complexes have been found to be 1:3 (metal:ligand) for Ru (III) and Rh (III) whereas 1:2 for Pd (II) complex. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate diamagnetic behaviour of complexes except Ru (III) complex, which is paramagnetic in nature. The X-ray diffraction studies suggest monoclinic crystal system for these complexes.
