Analysis of Some Complexes of Divalent Transition Metals with Tridentate Schiff Base

Abstract

Metal complexes are important in pharmaceutical sciences because of their wide range of effects. Schiff bases (SBs) are flexible pharmacophores that can form chelating complexes with a variety of metals at different states of oxidation. The numerous advantages of complexes containing SBs, such as their low cost and simple synthesis procedures, have prompted extensive investigation. Schiff base ligand 2 (5-bromo salicylaldimine) imino benzoic acid was utilized to form complexes of divalent iron and copper metals in the presence of bases with nitrogen and oxygen donor sites. After being described using basic physicochemical techniques such as elemental analysis, magnetic moment measurement, electrical conductance, electronic transition, and I.R. spectra, all of the complexes were found to be monomeric, non-electrolyte, paramagnetic, and octahedral in geometry. This paper will describe the analysis of several divalent transition metal complexes with a tridentate Schiff base.
