Coordination compounds of titanium (4), zirconium (4) and hafnium (4) with thiosemicarbazone of benzaldehyde

Adducts of titanium (4), zirconium (4) and hafnium (4) tetrachlorides with thiosemicarbazone of benzaldehyde of the MCl4xLig and MCl4x2Lig composition are extracted from solutions in nonaqueous ethylacetate. On the basis of infrared spectra in the range of 250-4000 cm-1 a conclusion is drawn about participation of azomethine nitrogen and sulfur atoms in coordination with metal. Studied is the behaviour of synthetized adducts and their components in absolute methanol with the help of paper chromatography, measurement of electric conductivity and pH. It is established that adduct decomposition and simultaneous metal tetrachloride solvolysis take place at dissolving in the alcohol
