Spectrophotometric, conductometric and thermal studies of Co(II), Ni(II) nd Cu(II) complexes with 2-(2-hydroxynaphthylazo)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3-pyrimidine

摘要

The electronic absorption spectra of 2-(2-hydroxynaphthylazo)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3-pyrimidine in pure organic solvents of different polarities and in buffer solutions of varying pH are studied. The important bands in the IR and the main signals in the 'H NMR spectra are assigned. The observed UV-vis absorption bands are assigned to the coffesponding electronic transitions. The molecular stoichiometry, stability constant, absorption maximum, molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of the complexes are calculated. Obeyence to Beer's law and Ringbom optimum concentration ranges are also determined. The ability of using the titled azodye as metalochromic indicator in complexometric titrations was also studied. The effect of Co(ll), Ni(ll) and Cu(II) ions on the fluorescence of the azodye is also considered. The solid Cu(II) complexes of the titled azodye have been prepared and characterized by elemental, IR, UV-vis spectra as well as by conductometric and magnetic measurements. The data suggest square planar geometry for 1: 1 and 1:2 (M:L) complexes. The thermal behaviour of the complexes has been studied. The kinetic parameters (n, E, A, AH, AS and AG) of the thermal decomposition steps are computed using Coats-Redfem equations. 0 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
