title: Coordination modes of novel rhodanine azodye complexes.
abstract: The reaction products of metal(II) salts with 5-sulphamethoxazoleazo-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (H2L) have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, electronic, infrared and electron paramagnetic resonance spectral measurements. The spectral data suggest a square pyramidal structure for Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes and an octahedral for Ni(II) complexes. Various EPR parameters have been calculated. From the electron paramagnetic resonance and spectral data, the orbital reduction factors were calculated. In all case kperpendicular > kparallel which indicates a 2B1g ground state. These five coordinated complex of Cu(II) react further with pyridine forming six coordinate base adduct. The different modes of chelation of the ligand and stereochemistry around the metal ion are discussed.
