Transition metal complexes of indane 1,2,3-trione trioxime

Abstract

Complexes of iron(III), cobalt(III), copper(II) and palladium(II) with new trioxime i.e., indane- 1,2,3- trione trioxime(III) have been prepared and characterized. Bonding in all complexes takes place via nitrogen atom of thr oxime group. Iron(III) complex is paramagnetic while cobalt(III), nickel(II), copper(II), and palladium(II) complexes are diamagnetic. All the complexes prepared have been charaterised by elemental analysis, conductance, IR and electronic spectral studies. Copper complex is dimeric while other remaining complexes are monomeric.
