Synthesis, Morphology, Spectral Characterization and Thermal Behaviors of Transition Metal Complexes Containing Oxime-Imine Group

Abstract

A new oxime-containing Schiff base ligand and its Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) complexes have been synthesized. The structure of the ligand was identified by elemental analysis, UV-vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra. The synthesized complexes were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, elemental analysis, electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The Zinc(II) complex was also characterized by 1H NMR spectra. Elemental analysis data of the metal complexes indicated that the metal: ligand ratio of the metal complex is 1:1. The magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral data showed square-planar geometry for Cu(II) complex and tetrahedral geometry for Ni(II) complex.
