Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Schiff Base Complexes of Oxovanadium(IV) Cation

A series of oxovanadium(IV) complexes of the type [VO(mac)]SO4(where mac = tetraazamacrocyclic ligands derived from condensation of 4,4,4-trifluro-1-(2-furyl)-1,3-butanedione or 4,4,4-trifluro-1-(2-thenyl)-1,3-butanedione withp-phenylenediamine and their reaction withβ-diketones) have been prepared using oxometal ion of vanadium as kinetic template. These complexes have been ascertained by electrical conductance, magnetic moment, elemental analyses, infrared, e.s.r. and electronic spectral data. All the oxovanadium(IV) complexes are five-coordinate ones.

Synthesis and Structural Studies of Cr(III), Mn(II) and Fe(III) Complexes ofN(2-Benzimidazolyl)acetylacetohydrazone

The ligandN(2-benzimidazolyl)acetylacetohydrazone (BAAH) have been synthesized and characterized. Coordination complexes of Cr(III), Mn(II) and Fe(III) have been synthesized with the ligand BAAH. These complexes were characterized on the basis of analytical, conductance, thermal, magnetic data and infrared and electronic spectral data. The ligand BAAH is behaving as a neutral tridentate NNO donar employing two azomethine nitrogens (ring and side chain) and carbonyl oxygen. The ligand and it's metal complexes were tested for anti microbial activity on the gram positiveS. Aureus, E. coliandProteus.

Bioinorganic Relevance of Some Cobalt(II) Complexes with Thiophene-2-glyoxal Derived Schiff Bases

Complexes of Co(II) with two new Schiff bases TEAB [2-hydroxy-4-{[2-oxo-2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethylidene]amino}benzoic acid] and TEPC [N-[2-oxo-2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethylidene]pyridine-3-carboxamide] have been synthesized and characterized with the help of elemental analysis, magnetic, mass,1H-NMR,13C-NMR, IR and electronic spectral data. IR spectra manifest the coordination of the ligand to the metal ion through the carbonyl oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and thienyl sulphur atoms. With the help of electronic spectral data various ligand field parameters were also calculated. All these studies reveal the distorted octahedral Co(II) complexes. Synthesized compounds have also been screened against some micro organismsviz, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Aspergillus nigerandAspergillus flavuswith the help of ‘filter paper disc’ technique. It has been observed that the antimicrobial activities of metal complexes are higher than that of the free ligand.
