description

Abstract The complexes of arsenic, antimony and bismuth as well as phenylantimony and phenylbismuth with monoanionic 2-mercaptoaniline are reported. IR spectra are consistent with chelating behaviour of the ligand but only a weak nitrogen to metal bonding interaction is advanced. The mass spectra fragmentation pattern is also presented. It can be interpreted with the loss of successive ligand units and, as a general feature, the abundance of a given ion decreases as the mass of the metal increases. Species with one or two protons less give more intense peaks possibly corresponding to ions containing the dianionic form of the ligand.
