Structural Analysis of Newly Synthesized NO Donor Schiff Base Complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) Metal Ions by Conventional Method

Abstract

Transition metal complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) Containing Bidentate Schiff base, derived from the condensation of salicyladehyde and 2-aminophenol were synthesized and characterized by IR, UV- Vis., and some physical measurements. IR spectral studies show the binding sites of the Schiff base ligand with the metal ion. Molar conductance data and magnetic susceptibility measurements give evidence for monomeric and electrolytic nature of the complexes. Structural studies showed that Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) ion complexes are tetrahedral and Fe(III) ion complex is octahedral.
