The study includes the preparation of complexes Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) with Schiff base ligand (HNMBH2) which is derived from the condensation reaction of 2hydroxybenzohydrazide with 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthalene carboxaldehyde. The properties of which were characterized by infrared, magnetic measurements, molar conductivity measurements, electronic spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 1 H and 13 C, and gas chromatographymass spectrometry. It is found that the ligand acts as neutral tridentate to give high-stability mononuclear complexes that have a tetrahedral or square planar structure.
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.
