Oxozirconium(IV) Complexes of Di-n-Butyl and Di-n-Pentyl Sulphoxides

The synthesis and physical properties of ZrO++ complexes of di-n-butylsulphoxide (DBuSO) and di-n-pentylsulphoxide. (DPnSO) with the general composition ZrOX2·2L (X = Cl, Br, I, NCS, NCSe OI\u27 N03 and L = DBuSO or DPnSO) and ZrO(CI04)2\u27 4L are reported together with molecular conductivity, molecular weights and IR. In all the complexes, the sulphoxides are coordinated to zirconium(IV) through their lone oxygen atom. Thermal behaviour of the complexes has also been studied
