Spectroscopic, thermal analyses, XRD spectra and nematicidal activity study of some new N2O2 tetradentate Schiff base metal ions complexes

Abstract

ABSTRACT. A series of metal complexes [Co(HL)₂(H₂O)₂]Cl₂.5H₂O (A), [Cu(HL)₂](CH₃COO)₂.2H₂O (B), [Y(HL)₂]Cl₃.2H₂O (C), [ZrO(HL)₂H₂O]Cl₂.H₂O (D), [La(HL)₂(H₂O)₂]Cl₃.5H₂O (E) and [UO₂(HL)₂](CH₃COO)₂ (F) were prepared. The structures of the compounds in solid state were detected by micro analytical, Fourier transform IR, ¹H NMR, UV-Vis, mass, X-ray diffraction spectra, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility measurements and TG/DTG analysis. The IR spectral data point out that the ligand behaves as tridentate in nature with Cu(II), Y(III), U(VI) and bidentate with Co(II), Zr(IV) and La(III) metal ions. The conductivity values showed that the complexes found as electrolytes and the XRD models of the complexes indicated crystalline nature. The thermodynamic parameters of compounds have been detected using Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzeger methods at n = 1 and n ≠ 1 and values point out more ordered activated complex formation. The nematicidal efficacy of compounds was assessed.
