Synthesis, characterization and redox studies of (dithiocarbamato)- {<i>N</i>( 1)- benzyl-2-(arylazo)imidazole }palladium(ll) perchlorates

531-534The ternary complexes [Pd(RaaiCH2Ph) (S S)] (CIO4) (4,5) where RaaiCH2 Ph is N (I) - benzyl - 2 - (arylazo) imidazole, [p-RC6H4N=NC3H2NN(I)CH2C6H5(2); R = H (a), Me (b), CI (c)] and (S S) = N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (dedtc) (4) and morpholinedithiocarbamate (mdtc) (5) have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, UV/VIS and 1H NMR data. Electrochemical studies exhibit azo group reduction
