Iron(III) complex of N-phenylethylenediamine derivative of amine bis(phenol) ligand as model for catechol dioxygenase: Synthesis, characterization and complexation studies

摘要

A new amine bis(phenol) ligand (HLPEA), was synthesized and characterized by IR, H-1 NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The mononuclear iron(III) complex (FeL(PE)A) of this ligand has been prepared and characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques, ESI-MS, elemental analyses and magnetic susceptibility studies. The molecular mass of complex was determined by ESI-MS which is corresponding to a mononuclear iron(III) complex consist of amine bis(phenolate) ligand coordinated to Fe(III) including chlorine atoms and solvent molecule. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility indicates paramagnetic character of complex. To determine the formation constant of the complex, multivariate hard modeling method was applied on spectral data collected throughout the titration of Fe(III) with ligand.
