Multinuclear Magnetic Resonance and Related Studies of Coordination Compounds of Organosilicon with Mixed Azines

Abstract

New hexa-coordinated complexes of organosilicon (IV) have been synthesized by the reactions of diethoxydimethylsilane with the mixed azines. Their structures have been inferred based on elemental analysis, UV, IR, and multinuclear magnetic resonance spectral studies. The monomeric and nonelectrolytic nature of these complexes has been confirmed by molecular weight determinations and conductance measurements. The mixed azines and their silicon complexes also have been screened for their antimicrobial activities against several fungi and bacteria and were found to be quite active in this respect.
