title: Synthesis and characterization of new chromium, molybdenum and tungsten complexes of 2-[2-(methylaminoethyl)] pyridine.
abstract: A green chemistry route of synthesis using direct sunlight irradiation for the reactions of [M(CO)(6)] M=Cr, Mo or W with 2-[2-(methylaminoethyl)] pyridine (maepy) in THF. The reactions resulted in the formation of the oxo complex [Cr(2)(O)(4)(maepy)(2)] (1) and the tetracarbonyl complexes [Mo(CO)(4)(maepy)] (2) and [W(CO)(4)(maepy)] (3). The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, mass spectrometry and magnetic measurement. The complexes (1-3) were further investigated by thermogravimetric technique (TG). The biological activity of maepy and complexes as antibacterial and antifungal reagents have been investigated.
