Abstract
A new series of 14- and 15-membered tetrathia macrocyclic complexes, [MLX2] [M = Zn-11; X = Cl or NO3; L = L-1 = 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane; L-2 = 13,14-benzo-1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclopentadecane; L-3 3,6,10,13-tetrathiacyclotetradecane-1-ol; L-4 = 4,5-benzo-3,6,10,13-tetrathiacyclotetradecane-1,8-diol; L-5 = 4,5,11,12-dibenzo-3,6,10,13-tetrathiacylotetradecane-1,8-diol] have been prepared. The complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, conductivity, IR and X-ray photoelectron spectra. Octahedral structures have been proposed for all the prepared metal complexes.
