[The IR spectra of complexes of 2-hydroxy-2-ferrocenylpropylamine with Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)].

ABSTRACT

alpha-Cyano-alpha-ferrocenylethoxytrimethylsilame was prepared by the addition of trimethysilyl cyanide to acetylferrocene. 2-Hydroxy-2-ferrocenylpropylamine(FcA) was synthesized by the reduction of alpha-cyano-alpha-ferrocenylethoxytrimethylsilame with lithium aluminum hydride. A series of coordinate complexes--FcA-Ni(II), FcA-Cu(II), FcA-Zn(II), FcA-Cd(II) and FcA-Hg(II) were obtained through coordination of this ligand with MCl2 (M= Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Hg). The FTIR spectra of the complexes and ligand were obtained in the range of 4 000-400 cm(-1). Their major bands were assigned and compared. The results showed that in all complexes some bands(upsilonO-H, upsilonN-H sigmaO-H, sigmaN-H) were shifted to lower wave number, and some(upsilonC-N, upsilonO-N) were shifted to higher wave number. The aminoalcohol groups and metal ions were bound with coordinated bond.
