“…Complexes of N vinylimidazole (1) with mangan ese(II), 29 iron(III), 29 cobalt(II), 29,30 copper(II), 29 and nick el(II) chlorides 31 have been obtained by mixing the ligand and the salts at room temperature in organic solvents (eth anol, diethyl ether, or acetone) or water. The reactions of MnCl 2 , FeCl 3 , and NiCl 2 with vinylimidazole 1 give the complexes MCl m •4L (L = 1), regardless of the initial salt : ligand ratio (1 : 1, 1 : 4, or 1 : 6).…”
