N2 Schiff Ligand with Mercury (II) Complex: Preparation and Characterization

Abstract

The Bi dentate ligand type N₂ molecule have been prepared through one step reaction between one equivalent of acetyl acetone with two equivalent of 4-phenoxy aniline, using ethanol as a solvent. This ligand  was used to manufacture the target Hg (II) complex from action of the ligand and Mercury with  a 1:1 ratio.The ligand and complex were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, the ultraviolet spectrum, the precise analysis of the elements (C.H.N.).  ¹H-NMR spectrum and  the mass spectrum of the new ligand were taken. The prepared complex was also diagnosed with molar conductivity and magnetic susceptibility. Suggested geometry around the Mercury ion is Tetrahedral.
