Synthesis, characterization and X-ray crystal structures of Vanadium(IV), Cobalt(III), Copper(II) and Zinc(II) complexes derived from an asymmetric bidentate Schiff-base ligand at ambient temperature

摘要

An asymmetric bidentate Schiff-base ligand (HL: 2-((allylimino)methyl)phenol) was prepared from reaction of salicylaldehyde and Allylamine. Vanadium(IV), Cobalt(III), Copper(II) and Zinc(II) complexes, VOL2, CoL3, CuL2 and ZnL2 were synthesized from the reaction of VO(acac)(2), CoCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, CuCl2 center dot 2H(2)O and Zn(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O with the bidentate Schiff base ligand (HL: 2-allyliminomethyl-phenol) in methanol at ambient temperature. The ligand and its metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), Fr-IR spectroscopy. In addition, H-1 and C-13 NMR techniques were employed for characterization of the ligand (HL) and diamagnetic complex ZnL2. The molecular structures of all complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. In the ZnL2 and CuL2 complexes, the metal ion is coordinated by two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms from two Schiff base ligands in an approximately square planar trans-[MN2O2] coordination geometry. In the Vanadium(IV) complex, VOL2, the vanadium center in this structure has a distorted tetragonal pyramidal N2O3 coordination sphere and for Cobalt(III) complex, CoL3, the Co-III ion is six coordinated by three bidentate Schiff base ligands in a distorted octahedral environment.
