The mixed ligand complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with Schiff bases N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene)-4-methylaniline (L 1 H) and N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,3-dimethylaniline (L 2 H) have been synthesized and characterized. The resulting complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetic moment measurements, conductivity measurements, 1 H NMR, IR, UV-visible and ESR spectral studies. The Schiff bases acts as bidentate monobasic ligands, coordinating through deprotonated phenolic oxygen and azomethine nitrogen atoms. The complexes are non-electrolytic in DMSO. The presence of the two coordinated water molecules in these complexes was indicated by IR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis of the complexes. From the analytical and spectral data the stoichiometry of these complexes have been found to be [M(L 1 )(L 2 )(H 2 O) 2 ] {where M = Co(II) , Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)}. It is found that Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes exhibited octahedral geometry. The antimicrobial activities of ligands and their mixed ligand complexes were screened by disc diffusion method. It is found that the metal complexes have higher antimicrobial activity than the free ligand.
Binary and ternary complexes of the type M-Y and M-X-Y [M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); X=N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,3-dimethylaniline and Y =N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene)-4-nitroaniline] have been examined pH-metrically at 27±0.5 °C and at constant ionic strength, μ=0.1 M (KCl) in 75:25(v/v) 1,4-dioxne-water medium. The stability constants for binary (M-Y) and ternary (M-X-Y) systems were calculated.
Binary and ternary complexes of the type M-Y and M-X-Y [M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); X = N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene)-2,6-diisopropylaniline and Y =N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,3-dimethylaniline] have been examined pH-metrically at 27±0.5°C and µ = 0.1 M in 75: 25% (v/v) 1,4-dioxne-water medium. The logarithms of the values of stability constants for binary (M-Y) and for ternary (M-X-Y) systems were calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
