Abstract
Synthesis and characterization of several new coordination compounds of dioxouranium(VI) heterochelates with bidentate hydrazono compounds derived from 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone are described. The ligands and uranayl complexes have been characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. The bond lengths and the force constant have been calculated from asymmetric stretching frequency of O
U
O groups. The infrared spectral studies showed a monobasic bidentate behaviour with the oxygen and hydrazo nitrogen donor system. The effect of Hammett’s constant on the bond distances and the force constants were also discussed and drawn. Wilson’s matrix method, Badger’s formula, Jones and El-Sonbati equations were used to determine the stretching and interaction force constant from which the U
O bond distances were calculated. The bond distances of these complexes were also investigated.
