Abstract

Cadmium (II), highly toxic metal ion that acts as a carcinogen in mammals, inhibits growth of plants and decreases uptake of water and minerals. Thus there is an emergency to develop promising reducing methods. In this present research deford- hume’s formulation was applied to investigate the complexation of Cadmium with newly synthesized imine derivative 2-(3,4,5 tri methoxybenzylidene amino)-2-methyl propan-1-ol using an electrochemical technique polarography in di methyl formamide-water system. Imine derivative was synthesized by condensation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde with 2-Amino-2-Methyl -1-Propanol.Characterised by electronic and IR spectroscopy. Solutions were taken in the H-type cell of Lingane and Laitimer for recording polarograms. Millicoulometric method was applied to know the number of electrons transferred. From these studies it was observed that Cd(II) complex showed irreversible two electron reduction at d.m.e. electrode and 1:4 metal to ligand ratio with consecutive stability constants as β1 = 0.85 x 102; β2 = 4.50 x 103; β3 = 1.50 x 105; β4 = 3.48 x 106-,This study confirmed that imine derivative shows a weak interaction with cadmium.
