Five rare earth complexeslanthanum(III),praseodymium(III),neodymium(III), samarium(III) and europium(III) have been synthesized from Schiff base ligand (N,N-bis (2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene) acetylhydrazone). The complexes were characterized based on elemental analysis, molar conductance, ultraviolet, infrared, mass, thermogravimetric and powder X-ray diffraction studies. Infrared spectra sug...

macrocyclic heterobinuclear zn(ii)–cu(ii) complexes with phenol based dicompartmental ligands possessing contiguous hexa- and penta-coordination sites were prepared by a stepwise procedure. the ligands include similar n4o2 and dissimilar n(imine)3o2 and n(amine)3o2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms. the six-coordination site comprises two pyridyl pendant arms on the amine nit...

The synthesis and analytical applications of the new heterocyclic ligand are described. The complexation reaction of the ligand with some cations was studied in aqueous methanol at room temperature using the spectrophotometric method. Results revealed that only the absorption spectra of the Fe (III)–ligand complex show a high redshift of the absorption maximum in the aqueous methanol soluti...

The mercury (II) complex, Hg (Meca2en)I2 (1), containing bidentate Schiff base ligand  Meca2en = N,N′-bis[(E)-2-benzylidenepropylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses (CHN) and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural investigation shows that 1 crystallizes in a monoclinic s...

In this study, we have been involved in the synthesis and characterization studies of a new cyclotriorganophosphazenes complex with protected phloroglusine ligand. Firstly,we synthesized hexachlorocyclotirphosphazene from ammonium chloride and phosphorus pentachloride reaction and then two hydroxyl groups of the phloroglusine ligand were protected with methyl iodide and tosyl chloride. Fina...

A new series of transition metal complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), has beensynthesized from the Knoevenagel condensate Schiff base ligand(L) derived from β-ketoanilideand furfural with o-phenylenediamine and diethylmalonate. Structural features were determinedby spectral and analytical techniques. Square-planar geometry has been adopted by thecomplexes except cobalt complex which ...

New coordination polymer of [HgLCl2]n (1) with HgCl2 and Schiff base bidentate ligand (4-methoxyphenyl) pyridine-2yl methyleneamine (L) was prepared and structurally characterized. In the 1D network structure of 1, the mecury (II) ion adopts an HgN2Cl3 distorted square pyramid geometry. In this complex, one of the chlorine acts as bridging ligand connecting two adjacent mercury(II) ions while, ...
