Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Complexes of Derivative of 1,10-phenanthroline

Abstract

Mononuclear complexes of Zn(II) N,N’ coordinated with phendione and phendioxime and polynuclear of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of the phendioxime were synthesized and characterized by direct and template method. Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) species coordinated by N,N’ of the oximate and phen groups, Ni(II) complex of the oximate has square-planar geometry and phen has octahedral geometry whereas; Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of oximate and phen have octahedral geometry. Mononuclear complex of Zn(II) with phendione N,N’ coordinated was precursor for mononuclear complex of Zn(II) with phedioxime N,N’ octahedral coordinated by phen group and heteronuclear complex of Ni(II) with mononuclear Zn-phendioxime complex was synthesized and characterized by template method. Zn(II) and Ni(II) species coordinated by N,N’ of phen and oximate groups, respectively. Zn(II) moiety coordinated through N,N’ of phen has octahedral geometry and Ni(II) moiety coordinated through N,N’ of oximate has tetrahedral geometry. Structures of the ligand and its complex are suggested and formulated according to the elemental analysis, 1H, 13C NMR, UV-Vis, IR, AAS, molar conductivity and magnetic susceptibility.
