Synthesis and Characterization of [Sa(p-anisal-DA)4(H2O)2]by insitu Method

Abstract

The insitu synthesis of Schiff base metal complex using N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DA), p-anisaldehyde (p-anisal) as starting materials with samarium nitrate hexahydrate (Sa(NO3)2.6H2O) as a metal precursor in the molar ratio (1:1:1 M) at room temperature. The prepared metal complex is washed with several times with ethanol and boiled water for the removal of un-reacted starting materials completely. The following techniques are used to confirm the prepared Schiff base metal complex by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transforms Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction pattern and Cyclic Voltammetry.
