Synthesis and Characterisation of Schiff Base Co (Ii) And Cu (Ii)` Complexes Derived From Ciprofloxacin and P-Nitroaniline

Abstract

The complexes of Co (II) and Cu (II) with Schiff base derived from ciprofloxacin and p - nitroaniline have been synthesized . The ligand and the complexes were characterized on the basis of physical properties conductance measurement and infrared spectroscopic analysis . The ligand melting point and decomposition temperatures for the complexes are high . The molar conductance values of the complexes are low . The I . R data of the complexes showed absorption bands ranging from (500 - 800) cm - 1 indicating coordination of the ligand to the metal ions . The paper ' s primary contribution is finding that ciprofloxacin and p - nitroaniline can be used to synthesize a new Schiff base and its metal complexes by , characterizing the complexes according to their physical properties , conductance measurement and infrared spectroscopy . The results of which were found to be in conformity to the literature .
