Abstract:
Novel five binuclear polymeric dioxouranium(VI) of azosulphadrugs [(azodrug substances) azobenzene sulphonamides] were prepared for the first time. The infrared spectra of the samples were recorded and their fundamental vibration wave number was obtained. The resulting polymeric uranyl complexes were characterized on the basis of their elemental analyses, conductance and spectral (IR, NMR, and electronic spectra) data. The ligation modes of the azosulphadrugs ligands towards uranyl(II) ions were critically assigned and addressed properly on the basis of their IR and their uranyl(II) complexes. The theoretical aspects are described in terms of the well-known theory of 5d-4f transitions. The coordination geometries and electronic structures are determined from a framework for the modeling of novel polymer complexes. The values of nu(3) of the prepared complexes containing UO(2)(2+) were successfully used to calculate the force constant, F(UO) (1n 10(-8)N/A) and the bond length R(UO) of the U-O bond. Wilson's, matrix method, Badger's formula, and Jones and El-Sonbati equations were used to calculate the U-O bond distances from the values of the stretching and interaction force constants. The most probable correlations between U-O force constant to U-O bond distance were satisfactorily discussed in terms of "Badger's rule", "Jones" and "El-Sonbati equations".

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
