Abstract
Abstract The new complexes of 4-oxo-4-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino}but-2-enoic acid, HL anion with Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Y(III) were synthesized and some of their physico-chemical properties investigated. The complexes form hydrates with two or three molecules of water. The carboxylate groups act as a bidentate bridging or chelating ligand. The compounds of Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III) and Y(III) are amorphous solids while those of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(II) crystalline ones that crystallize in monoclinic system. Complex of Cu(II) is the centrosymmetric dinuclear compound. Around both Cu(II) cations the tetragonal pyramide is formed. Being heated in air at 293–1173 K the complexes are decomposed in three steps. The oxides of appropriate metals are the final products of complex decomposition. All analysed compounds obey Curie–Weiss law. They show the paramagnetic properties with the ferromagnetic interactions between molecular centres.
