Abstract
SummaryMetal complexes of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (5-RC7H3-NS2H) (R=H) and its 5-ethoxy (R=EtO) and 5-ethyl (R=Et) derivatives which are reasonably soluble in common organic solvents are described. The species prepared include M(5-RC7H3NS2)2(pyr)2 (pyr=pyridine; M=Zn, Ni or Co; R=Et or EtO) and [M(5-RC7H3NS2)2]n (M=Zn or Ni; R= Et or EtO; M=Co, R=EtO). Addition of [Me4N]-[5-RC7 H3NS2] to [Ni(5-RC7H3NS2)2]n afforded green, paramagnetic [Me4N][Ni(5-RC7H3NS2)3] (R=H or EtO). Attempts to oxidise [Ni(5-EtOC7H3NS2)2] to nickel(IV) species are described. The formation of Co(5-EtC7H3NS2)3-(pyr)2 and Co(C7H4NS2)3I2, which may contain cobalt(III), is reported.
