The new Schiff base ligand has been prepared viacondensation reaction of o-aminoacetophenonoximeand3-Ethoxysalicylaldehyde. This ligand has been characterized by different techniques such as, (IR, U.V-Vis) spectroscopy, (1H, 13C) NMR spectra, GC-Mass spectrum and micro-elemental analysis. Its Cr(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes prepared and characterized by (IR, U.V-Vis) spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements and atomic absorption. The ligand acts as monobasic bidentate with (N,O) set donar and coordinates through phenolic group oxygen atom and imine azomethine nitrogen atom. Octahedral geometry structure proposed to Cr(III), Mn(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) show, while tetrahedral and square planar structures were proposed to complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II), respectively.
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.
