Synthesis and Characterization of Cr(III) & Fe(II) Bis(2-Methoxybenzylidene)Biphenyl-4,4'-Diamine Complexes

Abstract

Bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)biphenyl-4,4'-diamine Schiff base was prepared by the reaction of benzidine and O-methoxy benzaldehyde 1:2 reaction. Two complexes of this ligand with Cr(III) and Fe(II) were prepared. All prepared compounds were analysed using elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR and mass spectroscopy. The formation of proposed structures, including the free ligand and complexes were confirmed.
