Abstract
This article deals with the preparation and coordination of NH2—NH2 hydrazine molecule compounds. The hydrazine sulfate complexes of Mn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II) were prepared. These complexes were characterized by elemental, infrared, conduction, electron absorption spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. The magnetic measurements were confirmed that the Mn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II) hydrazine complexes have an octahedral geometric structure. Thermogravimetric and its differential thermogravimetric analysis referred that all complexes passed through two-to-three thermal degradation steps with solid metal sulfate as a residual product. The infrared spectra inferred that the NH2—NH2 ligand forms complexes through nitrogen atoms of the—NH2 moiety, while the elemental analysis indicates [M(NH2—NH2)3]SO4 (where M = Mn(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)) while the iron(III) complexes have the [Fe2(NH2—NH2)4(SO4)2]SO4 formula of coordination compounds, NH2—NH2 acts as a double bond. Both XRD and AFM analysis deduced that the synthesized hydrazine metal complexes were found to be in nano scale range 10—30 nm.
