Three new Schiff bases derived from the condensation reaction of thiophene-2-carbaldehyde and DL-alanine, DL-valine and DL-phenylalanine have been synthesized and their Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes have been prepared. The Schiff bases and the complexes have been characterized by their analytical and spectral data. The protonation constants of the Schiff bases and stability constants of the complexes have been determined potentiometrically in aqueous medium at 25 °C and 0.1 M KCl ionic strength. Solid state conductivities of the synthesized substances were using the four-probe technique on a compressed pellet at room temperature.
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.
