Reactions between caffeine, as ligand, and preferred transition metals were accomplished to synthesize new compounds that include caffeine. All around there were five different types of reactions that were completed. In every single one there was caffeine compound (L).
These five types of chemical reactions differed by the sort of solvent, by the presence of KSCN compound, by the presence of concentrated HCl acid or selected transition metal. The following transition metals were used: Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III).
After syntheses were completed, successfully synthesized products were analysed with X-ray structural analysis, likewise all products were analysed by infrared spectroscopy (IR). In accord to performed analysis, I can say that I have successfully synthesized two new compounds. First one coordination compound with caffeine and another one salt including caffeine cation.
