ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the synthesis of sulphur and nitrogen containing dithiocarbamate ligand derived from 2-naphthylylamine as well as its coordination compounds with d-block metals of first series. Characterization of these compounds was made through elemental analysis, conductometric measurements and IR spectral studies. The analytical data showed the stoichiometry 1:2 and 1:3 for the compounds of the types ML2 {M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)} and M’L3 {M’=Cr(III) and Fe(III)}, respectively. The conductometric measurements indicated the compounds to be non-ionic in nature. The bidentate nature of dithiocarbamato moiety was confirmed on the basis of FT-IR spectral data. Keywords: Transition metal chelates, Dithiocarbamates, IR and conductance.
