A new ligand, L, bearing two ethyl acetate pendant groups has been synthesized by reaction of the precursor ligand L A with ethylbromoacetate. The coordination capability towards transition [Mn 2ϩ , Ni 2ϩ ], post-transitional [Zn 2ϩ and Cd 2ϩ ] and Pb 2ϩ ions has been investigated starting from the hydrated perchlorate salts of the metals. The new ligand L and the metal complexes obtained were characterized by elemental analysis, FAB MS,
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.
