Abstract
Diacetyl dioxime (commonly known as dimethylglyoxime) was the first organic reagent to be used in analytical chemistry for estimation of nickel’. Since then the analytical applications of a number of bidentate chelating ligands like dioximes, acyloinoximes and aromatic ohydroxy-aldoximes have been developed extensively and apart from analytical applications, studies have centered around their stability data with a variety of metal ions in aqueous medium’. Due to the highly hydrolysable nature of E&O-Nbond present in derivatives of simple oximes and substituted hydroxylamines with a number of elements like B, Al, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, P, As, Sb and Bi, synthesis of such derivatives has been achieved in non-aqueous media, mainly during the last decade (out of the 170 references at the end of this article, more than 150 pertain to post-1960 period). This review would deal particularly with the above derivatives. However, as derivatives of these ligands with organometallic moieties have been reviewed recently3, these have been omitted from the present article except for brief references. Addition compounds of these ligands prepared in non-aqueous (or even pseudoaqueous) media are also just mentioned mainly in the preparative section. 2. Methods of Preparations
