Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Metal Complexes of Quinaxaline Schiff Base

The VO (IV), Pd (II), Zn (II), Cd (II), Hg (II), Ru (III), Au (III) and UO2 (VI) complexes of Schiff bases derived from N- (3-choloroquinoxaline-2-yl) ethane-1, 2-diamine and 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde has been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical data. The ligand behaves towards the metal ions as mononegative, bidentate ones co-ordinating through phenolic oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. The geometry and the bonding characteristics associated with the complex have been deduced from the relevant spectral data.
