Synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of new copper (II) complexes of α-aminonitrile derived from P- methoxybenzaldehyde with aromatic amine

Abstract

New metal complexes of transition metal ion Cu (II) of the ligand HL = (P-methoxy anilino)-P- methoxy phenyl acetonitrile were synthesized. The ligand was prepared by chemical root procedure which included the reaction of P-methoxybenzaldehyde with P-anisidine. The ligand HL act as primary ligand and sulphate, chloride, nitrate and acetate act as secondary ligand. The data obtained has been preceding using XRD data analysis program Origin 6.0 Professional. From the experimental measurements, various parameters- lattice parameter and particle size have been estimated. Particle size is found to be in the range of nanometer. The XRD analysis revealed the crystalline nature of all the complexes.
