Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Complexes of Phloroglucinol

Manganese(I), iron(II), cobalt(I), nickel(I), coper(I) and zinc(I) complexes of phloroglucinol have ben prepared and characterized by molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibilty measurements, estimation of metal ion and by their IR and electronic absorption spectra. The analytical data shows that al the complexes are of octahedral geometry. The non electrolytic and electrolytic nature of these complexes is evidenced by their magnetic susceptibilty and conductance data. The electronic and IR spectral data sugests octahedral geometry and cordination mode of the ligand.
