2-Amino-4-picoline , bidentate ligands

Mixed donor ligands. The complex [FeL3]Cl3 (L = acetylhydrazine) contains the ligand in its bidentate form, bonded via the carbonyl and primary amino-groups.Pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and l,l,l-tris(aminoethyl)ethane react with Fe" via a template reaction to form [Fejlpyljltame) ], in which three molecules of carboxaldehyde have condensed with one molecule of triamine to produce (pyljltame). MeC(CH2N=CH-oc-py)3 the complex cation is octahedral. The complexes [FeL ] (L = l,10-phenanthroline-2-carboxamide, n = 1 or 2) have been isolated they are both six-co-ordinate. Very weak d-d bands have been identified in the spectra of complexes of ot-picolinic acid and quinaldic acid with Fe". ... 

Complexes of pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (picolinic acid, picH) and its substituted derivatives commonly exhibit the N—O bidentate nature of this aromatic amino acid. From aqueous solutions chelates are obtained with the coordinated carboxylic group deprotonated, or neutral ligand forms may be isolated from non-aqueous media.26 Bis chelates are common in either case with bivalent metal ions. The tris chelates of trivalent cobalt27 and manganese28 have been structurally characterized recently. The latter is tetragonally distorted in a structure similar to Mnin(oxine)3.
