SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME NICKEL (II) COMPLEXES VIA BIOACTIVE SCHIFF BASES

A large number of Schiff bases and their complexes have been studied for their interesting and important properties. E.g. their ability to reversibly bind oxygen, catalytic activity in hydrogenation of olefins and transfer of amino groups, photocromic properties and complexing ability towards some toxic metals. The high affinity for the chelation of the Schiff bases towards the transition metal ions is utilized in preparing their solid complexes. Here we have synthesized some Complexes of Schiff base with First series transition Metal Ni (II) and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, 1H NMR, and IR studies.
