D-mannose sugar was used to prepare [benzoic acid 6-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-tetrahydrofuro[
3,4-d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl ester] (compound A). The condensation reaction of folic acid with
(compound A) resulted in the formation of new ligand [L]. These compounds were
characterized by elemental analysis CHN, atomic absorption A.A, (FT-I.R.), (U.V.-Vis),
TLC, E.S. mass (for electrospray), molar conductance, and melting point. The new
tetradentate ligand [L], reacted with two moles of some selected metal ions and two moles of
(2-aminophenol), (metal : ligand : 2-aminophenol) at reflux in water medium to give a series
of new complexes of the general formula K2[M2(L)(HA)2] where M= Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and
Cd(II). These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses [(C.H.N) and (A.A)], (FTI.
R), (U.V-Vis.), molar conductance, 1H,13C-NMR, TLC and magnetic moment
measurements. From the above data the proposed geometry about Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II),
is tetrahedral structure. Biological activity of the lignd and its complexes was carried o |
