Six transition metal-salen complexes (metal = Fe, Mn and Cr) 1-6 have been synthesized and characterized using different spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The binding studies of natural antioxidant, curcumin with the complexes (1-6) have been carried out by electronic absorption spectroscopic technique. The substantial shift in the absorption maximum of complexes (1-6) when they bin...

A series of metal complexes of Cu(II) and Ni(II) having the general composition [M(L)X(2)] with benzil bis(thiosemicarbazone) has been prepared and characterized by element chemical analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and spectral (electronic, IR, EPR, mass) studies. The IR spectral data suggest the involvement of sulphur and azomethane nitrogen in coordination to...

Some new complexes of thiacetazone (Thz) and quinalizarin (Qz) with Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) were prepared. The ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by phisco-chemical spectroscopic techniques. The spectral data suggested that the thiacetazone as a neutral bidentate ligand is coordinated with the metal ions through the N and S atoms. The ...

The concept of chemoremediation in the liquid homogeneous phase using polymer reagents as a green technology is presented and outlined. It is based on the retention of polymer–metal complexes in aqueous solution according to their molecular size by using membrane filtration. The fundamentals of the metal ion interaction with respect to enrichment and separation procedures are discussed, and the...

The mixed ligand complexes of the type [ML1L2]Cl2, where M=Mn(II), Fe(III),Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)L1=pyruvic acid semicarbazone (PYSC) L2= acetone semicarbazone (ACSC). These complexes have been synthesized by the reactions of metal chlorides with two different semicarbazone in 1:1:1 molar ratios. The resulting products have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, magnetic measure...

Novel oligomer metal complexes (2a-f) of the ligand 2,5-bis((4-bromophenyl)carbamoyl) terephthalic acid (1) were prepared using transition metal salts and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The geometry of oligomer metal complexes was carried out by electronic spectral analysis and magnetic measurement studies. Polymeric properties have also been carried out. Ligand was synthesi...

Quantitative studies of complex formation from the determination of stability constants of the binary complexes of metal (II)/(III)alizarin and also the mixed complexes of metal (II)/(III)alizarin-NTA have been described using paper electrophoretic technique. The stability constant of metal-(II)/(III)-alizarin are found to be 105.14, 104.84, 104.44 and 104.14 and mixed complexes of metal (II)/(...

New silica supported Schiff base ligands were prepared by the condensation reaction of 4,6-diacetylresorcinol with silica-gel derivatives, which modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and N-(2-aminoethyl) -3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. Metal ion uptake capacities of these compounds were studied towards of selected transition metal (Cd(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II)) cations...

Chelating resins based on polyacrylonitrile and diethylenetriamine (PAN-DTA) wereprepared through the simple reaction of polyacrylonitrile with various volume percents ofdiethylenetriamine (DTA), (25, 50, 75 and 100). The prepared resins were applied to removeheavy metal ions such as Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. The sorptionbehaviors of the resins for these metal ions were ...

Owing to their physiological activity, thioamides are used in pharmacy [1], but no simple relation between the rate of their hydrolysis and microbial activity has been found [2]. Dithiocarbamates and their copper complexes which are chemically related to these substances also exhibit antimycobacterial activity [3]. Unfor­ tunately, only small attention has been hitherto paid to the complexes of...
