New Mixed Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(II) Complexes derived from 2-((2-mercaptophenylimino)methyl)-4-methoxyphenol and 1,10-Phenanthroline: Synthesis and Characterization

Abstract

Three new mixed Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes have been created using 2-((2-mercaptophenylimino)methyl)-4-methoxyphenol and 1,10-phenanthroline. FT-IR, Elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis and molar conductivity technique have all been used to explore the structural characterisation of these compounds. Magnetic susceptibility readings for the L-Cu, L-Ni, and L-Co complexes were 1.97 BM, 2.92 BM, and 2.84 BM, respectively. The L-Co complex is thought to be antiferromagnetic. The structures of the mixed ligand metal complexes are thought to be octahedral geometry. There are no conductivity properties in the complexes; however, they exhibit molar conductivities that range from 2.46 to 9.04 µS/cm.
