New complexes of Ln(III) nitrate with 2-hydroxy-lbenzylidene-2-furoyl hydrazine having the general formula [Ln(L)2N03]H20 (where Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Yb, Y; L = 2-hydroxy-l-benzylidene-2-furoyl hydrazine) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic measurements, electronic, infrared, ] H NMR and thermal studies. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were computed from the thermal decomposition data. Based on the spectral and TG studies, a coordination number of eight around the metal ions is proposed.
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.
