Abstract

Benzylidene picramates of zinc, cadmium and mercury have been prepared by treating the corresponding aqueous sulphate and chloride solutions with sodium salt of 4'-dimethylaminobenzylidence-2-hydroxy-3, 5-dinitroaniline. A metal: ligand ratio of 1:2 has been established in all these cases. I.R. spectral studies of metal benzylidene picramates show N-M coordination (where M is zinc, cadmium or mercury). Explosive properties of these benzylidene picramates have also been studied and it was found that the thermal stability increases as the atomic radius decreases or ionization potential increases.
