Synthesis, Characterization and Thermal Studies of Ru(III), Rh(III) and Pd(II) Complexes Derived from 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldehyde and 3-Amino Phenol

Abstract

The Schiff base derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 3-amino phenol and its metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, UV, elemental analysis, molar conductivity and thermal analysis. From the analytical and spectral data, the stoichiometries have been found to be 1:2 for all the complexes. The Ru(III) and Rh(III) complexes exhibit octahedral structures, whereas Pd(II) complex show square planar structure.
