Spectral, magnetic, and thermal properties of some thiazolylazo complexes

The thiazolylazo compounds and their Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of barbituric acid, uracil, thiouracil, citrazinic acid, chromotropic acid, gallic acid, pyrogallol and salicylic acid were prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, IR and the effect of pH on the electronic absorption spectra. The mode of ionization, the electronic transitions and the dissociation constants were discussed. The stoichiometries of the complexed were of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:2 (M:L). The copper complexes are of isotropic ESR spectra (except that of gallic acid which showed a complicated one) and are of magnetically diluted behavior with orbital contribution. Detailed DTA data were obtained and discussed
