RESUMO
UV-Vis. spectrophotometric study of the adduct formation of organotin(IV)trichlorides i.e. PhSnCl3 and MeSnCl3 as acceptors with Co(II) tetraaza complexes, such as [Co(ampen)] [N,N'-ethylenebis-(o-amino-α-phenylbenzylideneiminato)cobalt(II)], [Co(campen)] [N,N'-ethylenebis-(5-chloro-o-amino-α-phenylbenzylideneiminato)cobalt(II)], [Co(amaen)] [N,N'-ethylenebis-(o-amino-α-methylbenzylideneiminato)cobalt(II)], [Co(amppn)] [N,N'-propylene bis-(5-chloro-o-amino-α-phenylbenzylideneiminato)cobalt(II)] and [Co(camppn)] [N,N'-propylenebis-(5-chloro-o-amino-α-phenylbenzylideneiminato)cobalt(II)] as donors were studied spectrophotometrically under N2 atmosphere and in N,N'-dimethylformamide solvent. The formation constants and thermodynamic parameters were measured using spectrophotometric titration of adduct formation at various temperatures. The trend of the adduct formations of the cobalt(II) tetraaza complexes with a given organotintrichloride acceptor decreases as follow: [Co(amaen)]>[Co(amppn)]>[Co(ampen)]>[Co(camppn)]>[Co(campen)]. The trend of the formation constants for the studied organotintrichlorides with a given cobalt(II) tetraaza complexes is as follow: PhSnCl3>MeSnCl3.
