Usage

General Description

Formic acid, also known as methanoic acid, is a colorless liquid with a pungent, penetrating odor. It is commonly used in the production of leather, textiles, and agricultural chemicals, as well as in preservatives and antiseptics. Nickel salt refers to the various compounds of nickel with other chemical elements. Nickel salts are often used in electroplating, as catalysts in chemical reactions, and in the production of pigments and ceramics. When combined, formic acid and nickel salt may be used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds and in industrial processes requiring a nickel catalyst. Both chemicals are typically handled with caution due to their potential irritant and toxic properties.

Synthesis and characterization of new metal(II) complexes with formates and some nitrogen donor ligands

New mixed-ligands complexes with empirical formulae: M(2,4'-bpy) 2L2?H2O (M(II)Zn, Cd), Zn(2-bpy) 3L2?4H2O, Cd(2-bpy)2L 2?3H2O, M(phen)L2?2H

New complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with 2,2'- or 2,4'-bipyridine and formates (Synthesis, thermal and other properties)

New mixed-ligand complexes with empirical formulae: Mn(2-bpy) 1.5L2?2H2O, M(2-bpy)2L 2?3H2O (M(II)=Co, Cu), Ni(2-bpy)3L 2?4H2O and M(2,4'-bpy)2L 2?2H2O (where 2-bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, 2,4'-bpy=2,4'-bipyridine; L=HCOO- ) have been obtained in pure solid-state. The complexes were characterized by chemical and elemental analysis, IR and VIS spectroscopy, conductivity (in methanol and dimethylsulfoxide). The way of metal-ligand coordination discussed. The formate and 2,4'-bpy act as monodentate ligands and 2-bpy as chelate ligand. The new complexes with ligand isomerism were identified. During heating the complexes lose water molecules in one or two steps. Thermal decomposition after dehydration is multistage and yields corresponding metal oxides as final products. A coupled TG-MS system was used to analysis principal volatile thermal decomposition (or fragmentation) products of Ni(2,4'-bpy)2(HCOO) 2?2H2O under dynamic air or argon atmosphere.
