A Schiff base has been prepared by the condensation of 4-amino -3,5-dimercapto, 1,2,4-triazole with 2,4-diaminobenzaldehyde. The ligand has been used for complexation with Mn(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal ions. The complexes have been characterized by their elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, IR spectra and electronic spectra. The very low value of molar conductivity of complexes shows their non-electrolytic nature. The comparison of IR spectra of complexes with that of free ligand reveals that the ligand is coordinated through azomethine nitrogen and deprotonated thiol sulphur forming five membered heterochelates. The magnetic moment values and electronic spectral bands clearly indicate the octahedral geometry around metal ions in complexes
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.
