A new seven membered heterocyclic ligand, 2,3-bis (hydroxyimino)-l,4-bis (2'-hydroxybenzy1)-1,4-diaza-cycloheptane, containing two phenolate-type pendant arms and two oxime groups, has been prepared. Mononuclear, tetranuclear, homo-and hetero-pentanuclear metal complexes of this ligand have been synthesized with Cu (II), Ni (II) and U (VI) 0,. The structures of the newly synthesized ligand and its complexes have been investigated. Protonation constants of the ligand and overall formation constants have been measured by potentiometric techniques.
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.
