This paper consists of three main parts: First part: includes the synthesis of ligand for Schiff bases (L1, L2) from the reaction of aldehydes (vanillin, isovanillin) with amines (cytosine), which are shown in the following: L1: 4-(I1-azaneyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol; L2: 4-(I1-azaneyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one2-methoxy-5-vinylphenol. Second part: Synthesis of new divalent metal complexes through the reaction of ligand (L1, L2) prepared in this study with chlorides salts and metal sulfates (nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese, and zinc) in a ratio of (1:1) (ligand: salt metal). The prepared ligands and complexes were characterized by physical and spectroscopic methods, including conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, melting point, atomic absorption spectroscopy, micro elemental analysis - CHN, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and H-NMR spectroscopies. From the results of these measurements, it was found that the ligands (L1, L2) prepared in this study behave like a bidentate ligands behavior as donor atoms are associated with metals via the nitrogen atoms in the (C=N) group and the (NH2) group, as well as in the pyrimidine ring. Also, it was found that all the complexes possess the proposed geometric shapes, which are the tetrahedral geometry and the square planar geometric shape.
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.
