Abstract

The Schiff base ligand (HL) has been prepared by the reaction of Paminoacetophenone
with acetylacetone. This ligand reacted with 5-nitroso8-
hydroxyquinoline (HQ) and salts of first transition series (M) where M= (Fe(II),
Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions ) to get mononuclear metal (II) complexes of the type
[MLQ(H2O)2] have also been synthesized. The formation of the Schiff base ligand and
its complexes have been envisaged from FTIR, UV-VIS, magnetic susceptibility,
conductivity and atomic absorption technique studies. These studies confirm an
octahedral environment around the metal ion in all our complexes.
