Modification on Synthesis of Mixed Ligand Chelates by Using Di- and Trivalent Transition Metal Ions with Schiff Base as Primary Ligand

摘要

New mixed ligand chelates synthesized from di-and trivalent metal ions (Cr, Co, Ni, and Cu ions) and Schiff base (L1) resulted from the condensation of 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde with 2-aminophenol as primary ligand, whereas 2-nitroaniline (L2) represents the secondary ligand in a molar ratio of M:L1:L2 [1:1:1]. The synthesized Schiff base and chelates have been characterized by using several tools, such as, elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic moment measurements, infrared and electronic spectra. The mass spectra of the ligands and Ni(II) chelate were used to justify the process of modification, as well as, the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum which was carried out for Cu(II) chelate all in order to elucidate the chemical and geometrical structure of the chelates. On the basis of the obtained data, the geometry of the products was proposed for all the chelates.
