Analytical and Crystallographic Parameters of Hg(II) Complexes Derived from Substituted Schiff Bases

Abstract

Mercury(II) complexes of type Hg(L)₂·H₂O, where L = substituted Schiff bases, prepared from condensation of 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde with o-toluidine, p-toluidine, o-amino benzoic acid, p-amino benzoic acid and are named as L₁, L₂, L₃ and L₄, respectively, while two ligands L₅ and L₆ were prepared by condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with o-amino benzoic acid and p-amino benzoic acid respectively and n = 1,2,3,4,5,6 have been prepared and characterized by IR, X-ray, UV-visible etc. Molar conductivity measurements indicates that the complexes are non-electrolytic in nature. The metal complexes of schiff bases are assigned tetrahedral structure.
