Abstract

The complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) were prepared from the reaction between the new Schiff base derived from the reaction between Salicylaldehyde, p-amino acetophenone and 4-aminoantipyrineto to give the Schiff base: 4-(1-(4-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)phenyl) ethylidene amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one. The identification of the ligand and its complexes were carried out by the techniques: UV-visible, infrared and 1H-NMR spectroscopies, micro elemental analyses of metal ions and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductivity. The results of this studies show the coordination sites for the ligand with the metal ion were to be through the oxygen of the hydroxyl group and nitrogen of the azomethine (C=N)group. According to the observations, the octahedral geometric structure for the synthesized complexes were suggested.

Results and Discussion

C.H.N.S. Analysis and physical properties of the prepared ligand and their complexes

The results of the C.H.N.S elemental analysis and the physical properties of the new Schiff base ligands with its complexes are summarized in Table 1. The molar conductivity values of the synthesis complexes show that there is no charge on the coordination sphere, this due to coordinated of anions to metal ions inside the coordination sphere [8,9].

Table 1:The Physical properties and elemental values of the Schiff Base ligand its metal complexes.

There is an identical between the theoretical and experimental data for the C.H.N.S values, that gave an evidence for the formation of the desired ligands and its complexes.

FT-IR spectra: The infrared spectrum of IR for the new ligand with its complexes are shown in Figures. 4-7 and Table 2. The main functional groups frequencies (C=N, C=O, H-C=N) in IR spectrum of ligand undergo a significant shifting in their frequencies positions in the IR spectrum of metal ions complexes, that refer to the coordinated to the metal ions and formation the complexes. The phenolic (O-H) seems at the same position in IR spectrum of ligand and its complexes (3439 cm^-1), this due to not bonding to the metal ions in the complexes [10]. The appearance of new absorption bands at 550 cm^-1 and 440 cm^-1 refer to the coordinated bond between the metal ions and base sites in the ligand, the azomethine (C=N) and (C=O) carbonyl groups to form five member [11,12].

Table 2: The infrared absorption frequencies data of ligand and its complexes. m=medium, w=weak, s=strong.

The absorption band at 3385 cm^-1 refer to υ(O-H) of water that is present in the spectrum of complexes and absent in the spectrum of the ligand [13,14].

Electronic spectra and magnetic moment measurements

Figure. 8a show there are three band of the UV-visible spectrum of the ligand at 202, 236 and 348 nm due to π→π* and n→π* transition within the ligand [15]. These three band in the metal ions complexes are slightly shifted to blue or red regions (Figure. 8c-8d). The appearance of new bands in the visible region due to d→d transitions [12].

According to diagram for the d7 system configuration show that the presence of three transitions in their electronic spectra: V14T1g(F) → 4T2g(F), V24T1g(F)→4A2g(F), V3(4T1g(F) → 4T1g(P) found at 649 nm (15408 cm^-1), 566 nm (17677 cm^-1) and 370 nm (27027 cm^-1) respectively for the Co(II) complex Figure. 9. This indicate the presence of an octahedral geometric structure of cobalt(II) complex. The magnetic moments effected, μ eff (4.36 B.M.) (Table 3) of Co(II) complex are in the range of the octahedral geometries.

Table 3: Electronic absorption spectral and magnetic moment data for the ligand and their metal complexes.

Nickel (II) ion has a (d8) system configuration having three peaks in their electronic spectra, at 830 nm (12048 cm^-1), V1(3A2g(F)→3T1g(F), 442 nm (22624 cm^-1), V2(3A2g(F)→3T1g(P)), 363 nm (27584 cm^-1) V3(C.T) transitions respectively for the Ni(II) ion complex Figure. 10. The first transition did not appear or is very weak V1(3A2g(F)→3T2g(F). The effected magnetic moment, μ eff (3.09 B.M.) (Table 3), of the Ni(II) complex are in the environment of the octahedral geometries.

The (d9) system configuration of Copper (II) has the following absorption found at 534 nm (18726 cm^-1), 406 nm (24630 cm^-1) which may be assigned to V1(2Eg→2T2g), V2(C.T) transitions respectively, corresponding to a distorted of octahedral geometry around the Cu(II) ion. The effected magnetic moments, μ eff (1.94 B.M.) (Table 3), of Cu(II) complex is in the environment of the octahedral geometries [16].

H-NMR for the ligand

The single band at (11.69 ppm) belong to one proton of hydroxyl group (OH), the single band at (8.80 ppm) belong to one proton of benzylidenimin (-CH=N-). The multiple bands at (6.89 ppm to 7.57 ppm) belongs to nine protons of aromatic rings, the two single bands at (3.21 ppm to 3.36 ppm) due to the protons of methyl group (CH3), while the band at (2.40 ppm to 2.50 ppm) related to H₂O in deuterated DMSO as in Figure. 9.

Recommendations

Study the thermal behavior of the ligands and their complexes to illustrate how much benefit in the liquid crystal field. Study the biological activity for this compounds because it has active azo-methane group. Employment this ligands in the quantitative determination for study of other metals ions as long as have ability to form a chelate complexes with synthesized ligands.
