Synthesis and characterisation of Manganese (II), Cobalt (II), Nickel (II) and Copper (II) N,N'-bis(Benzoin)ethylenediiminato complexes

Abstract

The manganese (II), cobalt (II), nickel (II) and copper (II) complexes of N, N’ –bis(benzoin)ethylenediiminato have been prepared and characterized by infrared, elemental analysis, conductivity measurements and solubility. The potentiometric, and elemental analyses studies of the complexes revealed 1:1 metal to ligand ratio.

Key words: Spectrophotometry, potentiometry, N, N’ – bis(benzoin)ethylenediimine, complexes.
