Complexes of a-pyridone with divalent transition metals by Clifford Carlton Houk A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Chemistry Montana State University © Copyright by Clifford Carlton Houk (1966) Abstract: Six new compounds of α-pyridone (C5H5NO) have been prepared. Single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis has shown one of these compounds, CuC12.C5H5NO, to be a chlorine bridged dimer. X-ray powder diffraction data show that three of these compounds, MnC12 • 1C5H5NO, NiC12 • 1C5H5NO and CoC12 • 1C5H5NO are isomorphous and appear to have structures similar to CuC12 • 1C5H5NO. Magnetic moment, solid and solution spectrophotometric data collectively indicate that all four compounds probably have a distorted tetrahedral configuration in the solid state. C0C12 • 3 C5H5NO has been prepared; magnetic, solid and solution spectrophotometric data support an octahedral structure for this compound. The sixth compound, CuCl2 • 2 C5H5NO has not been assigned a specific structure;, the data for this compound are inconclusive COMPLEXES OF a - PYRIDO NE WITH DIVALENT TRANSITION METALS by CLIFFORD CARLTON HOUK A t h e s i s s u b m itte d to th e G ra d u a te F a c u lty in p a r tia l fu lf illm e n t o f th e re q u ir e m e n ts for th e d e g r e e of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in C h e m is tr y A pproved: H e a d V M a jo r D e p a rtm e n t ------ C h a ir m a n , E x am in in g C o m m itte e D e a n , G ra d u a te D iv is io n MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY B o zem an , M o n tan a J u n e , 1966 ill ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The a u th o r w i s h e s to e x p r e s s h i s s i n c e r e a p p r e c i a t i o n for th e a d v ic e , e v e r p r e s e n t e n c o u r a g e m e n t , a n d c o n tin o u s s tre a m of i d e a s g iv e n by' Dr„ K e n n eth E m erso n d u rin g th e c o u r s e of t h i s s tu d y a n d w ritin g o f th e t h e s i s „ A p p r e c ia tio n i s e x p r e s s e d to th e D e p a rtm e n t of C h e m is tr y for a g r a d u a te t e a c h i n g a s s i s t a n t s h i p a n d t h e D e p a rtm e n t o f H e a l t h , E d u c a tio n a n d W e lf a r e for a n N.
