Abstract
5(2′-Hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-substituted-phenyl)pyrazolinates of cobalt(II) of the type (C15H12N2OX)2Co [here substituted group X is–H,–Cl,–CH3 or–OCH3] have been synthesized by reaction of anhydrous cobalt(II)chloride with the sodium salt of the pyrazolines in 1 : 2 molar ratio. Their addition complexes with N and P donor ligands [2, 2′-bipyridine, 1, 10-phenanthroline and triphenylphosphine] were prepared in 1 : 1 molar ratio. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight measurement, magnetic susceptibility, IR, electronic, 31P NMR and FAB mass spectra. All complexes are amorphous as determined by XRD. Tetrahedral geometry around cobalt(II) has been suggested, confirming the presence of two pyrazoline bidentate ligands, cobalt(II)5- (2′-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-substituted-phenyl)pyrazolinates. Upon ligand addition, pyrazoline changes to monodentate. The bidentate and monodentate behavior of pyrazoline ligands was confirmed by IR spectral data. The metal complexes and their adducts exhibit good antibacterial and antifungal activity, better than the pyrazolines.
