description

N-Cyano-N′-methyl-N″(2-[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-methylthio] ethyl) guanidine cimetidine (CM), complexes with CoII, NiII and CuII are described. The compounds are of stoichiometry [M(CM)2]SO4 · nH2O [M = CoII, NiII or CuII; n = 3,3 or 4, respectively], [M(CM)2](ClO4)2 [M = CoII or NiII], [M(CM)2]Cl2 · nH2O [M=CoII, NiII or CuII; n = 1, 2, or 2, respectively] and [Cu(CM)SO4] · 2H2O. The electronic spectra of the compounds in solid state, magnetic susceptibilities and i.r. and e.p.r. spectra were studied. Octahedral environments are proposed for the complexes: [M(CM)2]SO4·nH2O, [M(CM)2](ClO4)2, [Ni(CM)2]Cl2 · 2H2O, [Cu(CM)2]Cl2 · 2H2O and [Cu(CM)SO4] · 2H2O and a tetrahedral structure for [Co(CM)2]Cl2 · H2O.
