Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) Complexes with Multidentate Schiff Bases

Abstract<br /> Complexes of the type [M(L)2.2H2O]X2 (where M=Co(II) or Ni(II), X=Cl- or NO3-), [M(L)2Cl2] (where M=Cu(II),Zn(II) or Hg(II)) and [Cd(L)2](NO3)2 where L= multidentate Schiff bases ligands (resulted from the condensation of 2,3-butandione or benzil with 2-aminothiazole) 2-oxo-3-imino-(N-thiazole-2-yl) butane (atc) and 1-oxo-1,2-diphenyl-2-imino-(N-thiazole-2-yl) ethane (atb), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectral (Infrared, and U.V./Visible), magnetic data and conductivity measurements. <br /> The ligands have been acted as bidentate with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Hg(II) and tridentate with Cd (II) ions. The prepared complexes had hexacoordinated with octahedral geometries.
