Synthesis and characterization of bioactive zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with new Schiff bases derived from 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetophenone with ethylenediamine.

The new Schiff bases N,N'-bis (4-nitro benzaldehyde) ethylenediamine (L(1)) and N,N'-bis (acetophenone) ethylenediamine (L(2)) and its Zn(II), Cd(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical studies. Vibrational spectra indicate coordination of metal ion through azomethine nitrogen and acetate/nitrate ions. The presence of water molecule in all the complexes has been supported by TG/DTA studies.

Spectroscopic characterization and biological activity of Zn(II), Cd(II), Sn(II) and Pb(II) complexes with Schiff base derived from pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde and 2-amino phenol.

A new Schiff base 2-aminophenol-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde and its Zn(II), Cd(II), Sn(II) and Pb(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by various physicochemical studies. Spectral studies (IR and (1)H NMR) indicate deprotonation and coordination of phenolic oxygen along with binding of pyrrole nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and anion with metal ions. The presence of lattice water molecule(s) has also been confirmed by TG/DTA studies.

Spectroscopic characterization of bioactive carboxyamide with trinuclear lanthanide (III) ions.

Complexes of La(III), Sm(III), Eu(III) and Tb(III) with bioactive carboxyamide ligands N',N''-bis(3-caboxy-1-oxophenelenyl)2-amino-N-arylbenzamidine have been synthesized and characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. Mass spectrum explains the successive degradation of the molecular species in solution and justifies ML complexes. Vibrational spectra indicate coordination of Ln(III) with amide and carboxylate oxygen of the ligand along with nitrate ions.
