A new oxime-containing Schiff base ligand and its Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) complexes have been synthesized. The structure of the ligand was identified by elemental analysis, UV-vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra. The synthesized complexes were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, elemental analysis, electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The Zinc(II) complex was also characterized by 1H NMR spectra. Elemental analysis data of the metal complexes indicated that the metal: ligand ratio of the metal complex is 1:1. The magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral data showed square-planar geometry for Cu(II) complex and tetrahedral geometry for Ni(II) complex.
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.
