A new tetradentate N2O2 type Schiff base ligand 2,5-di(4-amino phenazonyl)hexane L was
synthesized from the condensation of 4-aminophenazone and 2,5-hexanedone. Monomeric
complexes of this ligand, of general formulae [M(L)]X (M-X=Co(II)-(OAc)2, Ni(II)-(OAc)2,
Cu(II)-(OAc)2,VO(II)-SO4,Zn(II)-SO4,Mn(II)-Cl2 or Fe(II)-Cl2;OAc=acetate ) are reported. The
mode of bonding and overall geometry of the complexes were determined through I.R, UV-Vis,
NMR spectral studies, magnetic moment measurements, elemental analysis, metal content and
conductance measurement. These studies revealed tetrahedral geometries for the Co(II),
Ni(II),Mn(II),Fe(II) and Zn(II) complexes, square pyramidal for VO(II) complex and square planar
for Cu(II) complex. The study of complex formation via molar ratio in DMF solution was
investigated and the results were compeer to those found in the solid complexes with a ratio of
(M: L) as (1:1) |
