Mixed ligand complexes of Metformin and Isoniazid have been synthesized and characterized by solubility studies, percentage metal analysis, UV-Vis spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, magnetic moments and conductivity measurements. The infrared spectra revealed the coordination of the ligands to the metal ions [manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)]. Meformin coordinated as a bidentate ligand via the imine nitrogen while isoniazid coordinated through its amino nitrogen (NH) and carbonyl oxygen (C=O). The electronic 2 spectra and magnetic moments for the complexes strongly suggested a six coordinate octahedral geometry. The-1 2-1 molar conductance values of the complexes are within the range 0.45-8.72 Ω cm mol , and this confirms the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
