?PEROXO COMPLEXES OF Zr (IV), Th (IV) AND U (VI) CONTAINING TRIDENTATE NEU- TRAL AND BI-AND TRIDENTATE NEUTRAL MACRO CYCLIC LIGANDS
Keywords:
Peroxo Complexes, Zr (IV),Th (IV), U(VI).Abstract
and two macrocyclic Schiff's bases have been synthesised and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity
measurements and infrared spectral studies. Their reactivities as potential oxygen carriers have also been studied.
Complexes containing thebidentate macrocyclicligandarenonelectrolytes in DMF.The present complexes havethe
