INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CETYLTRIMETHYLAMMONIUM OR TETRAMETYLAMMMONIUM BROMIDE AND MCl2 OR MCl5 (M = Hg, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Cd and Nb) IN MONONUCLEAR COMPLEXES: SYNTHESIS AND INFRARED STUDY

Abstract

On allowing cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (C₁₉H₄₂NBr) and HgCl₂, CuCl₂.2H₂O, CoCl_2.6H₂O, ZnCl₂, NiCl_2.6H₂O or NbCl₅ in specific ratio in methanol, new mononuclear have been obtained and studied by infrared. The suggested structures are discrete, of infinite chain with octahedral or tetrahedral environments around the metallic centres. The MX₂ behaves as discrete chains. For most of the structures, when intermolecular hydrogen bonds are considered, supramolecular architectures may be obtained.
