Abstract

New complexes of lanthanide nitrates with a Schiff base derived from o-vanillin (2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde) and p-toluidine having the general formula [LnL 2(NO 3) 2]NO 3 (where Ln = PrLu except Pm, L = Schiff base) have been prepared and characterized. Molar conductance studies indicate 1 : 1 electrolyte behaviour for these complexes. The IR spectra show that two Schiff base ligands and two nitrate groups are bound to the lanthanide ion in a bidentate fashion. Another nitrate group is in the outer coordination sphere. TG and DTA studies indicate that these complexes are stable up to 235°C and do not contain water or alcohol molecules.
