In the present contribution, some novel Cu(II) complexes were synthesized from tri-and tetradentate imine ligands. All the prepared compounds were elucidated by different physicochemical methods. Density Functional Theory calculations were carried out to explain the equilibrium geometry of the bsisnph and npisnph ligands and their Cu(II) complexes. Interaction of the synthesized ligands with Cu(II) affords nano-sized particles via TEM. The catalytic potentials of the prepared complexes has been tested within the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using an environmental friendly terminal oxidant, i.e. H 2 O 2 . The effect of various parameters, e.g. solvents, temperature and amount of catalyst was investigated. A mechanistic pathway of the catalytic oxidation was tentatively described and discussed.

This study focuses on the synthesis of Co(II) and Cr(III) Schiff base complexes obtained from thiourea. The complexes were synthesized by template method and characterized by elemental analysis (CHNS), FT-IR, UVvis spectroscopy, conductivity measurement and magnetic moment. The spectroscopic studies suggested the octahedral and square-pyramidal structures for Co(II) and Cr(III) complexes, respectively. Then the complexes were used as precursors for preparation of Co 3 O 4 and Cr 2 O 3 nanoparticles via solid-state thermal decomposition without using a catalyst, toxic solvent, template or surfactant and complicated equipment, which makes it efficient, one-step, simple and environment-friendly. The chemical structure of the metal oxides is studied by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. To investigate the applications of the synthesized complexes, in the next step, the complexes were screened for antibacterial activity against clinically important bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. The Cr(III) and Co(II) complexes showed good biological activity against all the tested bacteria. Also, the catalytic activities of the complexes were studied in toluene using non-toxic hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. The results showed that Co(II) complex has catalytic activity for oxidation of toluene, but Cr(III) complex did not show any catalytic activity.

Three novel nanosized Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes of imine ligand attained from the condensation of 2‐amino‐3‐hydroxypyridine and 3‐methoxysalicylaldehyde have been prepared and investigated using diverse chemical methods such as NMR, CHN analysis, conductance, IR, Spectral studies, TGA and magnetic moment measurements. The obtained data confirmed that the synthesized complexes have metal: ligand ratio of 1:1 and octahedral geometry for Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. Interestingly, The complexes are used as precursors for producing CuO, Co2O3 and NiO nanoparticles by calcination at 500 °C and their structures were described by powder x‐ray and transmittance electron microscopy. Furthermore, to investigate the feasibility of using the synthesized materials for semiconductor based nanodevices, the electrical properties of the prepared imine complexes and their corresponding metal oxides were investigated by measuring the electrical conductivity over a temperature range 373‐593 K. The data confirm that the materials are semiconductor. The electrical conduction process in the complexes is governed by intermolecular and intramolecular transfer of the charge carriers. But, the conduction mechanism arises from the contribution of the phonon‐assisted small polaron hopping in NiO nanoparticles and charge carrier hopping in CuO and Co2O3 nanoparticles. The results indicate that the complexes under study are promising candidates for wide scale of organic based semiconducting devices.
