SYNTHESIS OF MIXED LIGAND METAL COMPLEX OF CU (II) WITH SCHIFF BASE AND THIOACETAMIDE

Complex compounds were identified in the 19th century. The formation of hexammine cobalt (III) chloride [CO (NH3)6] Cl3 which is prepared from cobalt chloride and ammonia is the first compound, studied and real beginning of coordination Chemistry [1]. Alfred Werner first explained the nature of bonding and structure of these complexes and he was awarded Noble Prize in 1913 [2]. He gave the concept of primary (ionisable) valency and secondary (unionsible) valencies of metal ion.
